"Allow Exploding" Block

"Allow Exploding" Block

"Allow Exploding" Block

(OP)
A little tip for exploding Unexplodable blocks. AutoCAD 2006 has the ability to create blocks that are "unexplodable". We came across this today and quickly found a solution. I thought I would post it to help others. If you have a block that is this way, just type in BLOCK and select the block from the list. There is a checkbox to "Allow Exploding". Make sure it is checked and then a dialog will open to ask if you want to redefine the block. Click yes and then then block is explodable.

RE: "Allow Exploding" Block

Thanks... if your block is used often, there is a savings in dwg size by not exploding them... I often use steel sections and explode them to stretch them for beam elevations.
