Joe,
Thanks for clarifing that. Since I wrote my own, I don't use 'ncopy', but
I thought you could change the settings on it like other express tools.

Kent,
I guess XBIND is OK if you don't mind the fact the block name will be
something like
this, "Site Miscel OP4C$0$TS-14" rather than its original name "TS-14".
If you want the original name, you'd have to test whether that block name
already
exists. And rename it if not.
Tim,
NCOPY copies nested objects. You cannot use it to copy a block from an xref
into the
active file. It simply copies the deepest nested object selected. And BTW as
an
ExpressTool, I'm not sure it's totally reliable.
There are other ways to do what Mark asked for...

Sometimes it pays to have been using AutoCAD since 1984, as long as my mind
still functions well enough to remember some of those less common commands
now and then....

Never knew about xbind. That should get me going in the right direction,
