Updating WD_M

When I try and update the WD_M block using the 'Update to new WD_M Block, Values and Layers' command, I get the following error in the command window:

 

Command:
PANEL:
Type "swap_pnlm" to swap and conv to new lays carried on new wd_pnlm.dwg
Type "swap_pnlm_keep" to swap but keep drawing's existing layer names
SCHEMATICS:
Type "swap_wdm" to swap and conv to new lays carried on new wdm.dwg
Type "swap_wdm_keep" to swap but keep drawing's existing layer namesBlock WD_M references itself
*Invalid*

 

I'm not sure how this block can reference itself??!!??!!  I am using ACADE 2014 and as far as I can remember it worked in previous versions.  Could it be a setup issue?

I would take a look at the WD_M.DWG-block in your symbol library.

Seems like it contains a block named WD_M.

 

Make sure all objects in this file is "exploded", and use the PURGE command to remove all blocks.

 

Try again.
