    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous﻿&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It does sound like some strange behavior. &amp;nbsp;Please attach the drawing so I can take a look.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Are there any proxy objects in the drawing?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What happens if you run SETBYLAYER?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Folks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;bit of a different/interesting problem here. i have been given a site layout to edit for a client and have been going through and cleaning it up. there are a large number of blocks in the drawing and&amp;nbsp;i want to put them all on new/correct layers. however when i do the lines/test in the blocks are not addopting the new layer attributes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My workflow;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;edited all blocks and put all entities (as required) on layer 0 with all properties set as "by layer". (The block lines/text take on layer 0 attributes in the editor and when i exit the editor the entities are all white as if they are on layer 0. if i turn the visibility of layer 0 off the entities disapear as if they are on layer 0.)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;created new layer with correct attributes&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;placed block on to new layer&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;nothing changes.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;what i have tried to fault find&amp;nbsp;this;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;exploded all entities in the block (no other blocks inside blocks) - no change&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;double checked all entities are on layer 0 with properties set to "by layer" - everything is set correctly&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tried adding some new entities on layer 0 to see if they would act as expected - they did not&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tried a "RE" redraw - no change&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tried inserting a new version of the block and changing it - no change&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tried changing some settings on the block in the block dialog box then "redefining" it when inserting - no change&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tried creating a new block on layer zero and then placing that on a new layer - same behavior, lines do not adopt layers attributes.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;copied the block to a new drawing and placing it on layers in the new drawing - block behaves as expected. not only does this work but it brings the layer it was on in the drawing that i am having troubles with and responds as expected in the new drawing on the copied layer!! so this leads me to believe that it is a setting in the original drawing. i did try to copy the whole thing and paste it into a new drawing, but it fails every time i try.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;so does anyone have any idea on why the blocks wouldn't be updating? what is set to zero that should be set to one or vise versa?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;to add to this, i have a feeling that if this drawing was created in autocad it was done a LOOOONG time ago. but i have a feeling it may have come from another program, or at least large chuncks of it have, due to the names of a lot of the blocks and layers. (not xref names.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance for any help.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;can you upload the drawing with that special block inserted?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;OK,&amp;nbsp;so yesterday &amp;nbsp;after posting this i tried a couple more things to get this working.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yesterday i worked out that there was a block with proxy graphics (a leader in this case) that was stopping the copy function from working. so once that block was exploded i could copy everything. once in a new DWG i could do everything as expected with the blocks and the ones i had already changed were working properly in the new drawing. so all was good there.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this made me wonder if maybe there was something funny going on with the layers though. Like maybe someone had renamed or changed Layer 0. which i knew wasn't possible, but maybe if this drawing had come from a different program it was a translation issue. so i tried to delete/rename Layer 0 to make sure no one had done anything funny with the layers. As expected i couldn't. This led me to believe that everything was fine with the layers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;so just now i thought&amp;nbsp;to give you guys a copy of the drawing i&amp;nbsp;would delete everything out of the drawing and purge it then post a copy of the DWG for you, as i figured it would be&amp;nbsp;a setting&amp;nbsp;in the DWG file that was amiss as opposed to the content in it. low and behold when i purged it i got rid of everything except for 2 layers. layer 0 (which was active) and a layer called "BASE" so i tried to manually delete base and it gave me the "Layer _ Not deleted" dialog that comes up when you try and delete/rename layer 0. so i tried to create a block with lines on layer "BASE" and what do you know, it works like layer 0. so i tried changing one of the blocks in the original drawing to layer "BASE" and it works as expected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;so i would assume that this DWG &amp;nbsp;was exported/created from another program and changed/added to over the years and no one ever noticed or cared to work out why layer 0 wasn't working properly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks for the responses folks, and if you really want a copy of the drawing please let me know and i can post the "blank" version with the 2 layers in it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just to double check i tried the SETBYLAYER&amp;nbsp;command on a couple of blocks and nothing changes. thanks for the tip though, i will be using that in the future!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Emoticono feliz" title="Emoticono feliz" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
