Block insertion
Block insertion
(OP)
I'm currently running SW 2007 sp2.2 and am having some issues when I insert a block into a drawing.
When I insert "Block A", it turns into a different block. When I look at the tree, it shows the "Block A" that I am trying to insert and also "Block 1". The "Block 1" is the actual block that I am trying to insert, but it should be "Block A".
I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, I can attempt to elaborate if need be...is anyone else having this issue?

RE: Block insertion
It sounds as though you have a different block named the same as the one you are trying to insert. Try deleting all the blocks listed in the tree and try re-inserting to see if it comes in correctly. If that works you may want to rename the offending block to something else.

RE: Block insertion
Just so I understand that you are looking in the correct place there are no blocks listed under the "Blocks" folder when it is expanded? If there are any blocks listed as the same name of the one you are inserting it is only going to use the one that is embedded in the template and not the one that you are trying to insert.

It may also be a bug that you are seeing and probably upgrading to the latest SP will fix the problem.
