ah, thanks. I have considered the locking of layers in other portions of
the code. I was thninking that might be the case. Thanks

Jamie,
Sorry about the delayed reply.
The code I posted is "dangerous" in the sense if anything goes wrong while
copying
and erasing objects within block definitions, you might end up with corrupt
or
incomplete blocks. For instance, there is no error checking for locked
layers.

I have tested the code and it does exactly as you described, my fault for
not understanding it at first.
I only need to tweak the if statement...
Again, if you please, what does the 'dangerous bit' refer to?

Jamie,
Again you fail to reply to the question asked. "Post an example file which
demonstrates the code I posted does not work." Whether it is dangerous or
not has
nothing to do with the validity of the code.

perhaps you can explain the bit dangerous part.

Post an example file which demonstrates the code I posted does not work.

Thank you for your input.
This does nothing in addressing the problem, namely revising the handles of
objects within blocks so that these objects will be visually above the other
objects, but it teaches me more about vlisp which is great.

Jamie,
Something like this for the blocks. Test it on copies of working files. It
is a
bit dangerous.
