Using Pathfinder Office to export GPS files and insert into AutoCAD drawings. First block comes in great, but I cannot insert a second block. When I choose the second block to insert, it changes one line from the original block to a different color, puts linework on different layers, or even takes out linework from the original block. If I explode the blocks, the attribute information is lost. I name the blocks different names so overwriting a block with one of the same name is not an isssue. I know that I can export serveral files from Pathfinder Office at one time and then insert them that way, but I need to combine all the exports together that I have and it would be nice to be able to wblock out the information from one drawing to another instead of having to start a new export from Parthfinder office.

Can you post two of the files so we can see what you're up against.

Attached are two files that I am trying to insert into one drawing. When I do this it overlays linework on top of linework from the first block and puts it on a different layer. I noticed if I delete the line that comes in the original line is underneath. I am just worried that if I don't catch something then it is on the wrong layer with the incorrect attributes attached. I created a tmp dwg and then inserted the tmp 063012 and tmp 62212.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see the attachment(s). Also, it's best to ZIP the files first.
