I manage the block library at my job, creating dynamic blocks and everything to ease the flow of work. I created all our tool palettes and they worked great starting out, but I have since updated a few blocks and, until recently, it was working smoothly. I've tried to use redefine but it's always greyed out. I have our tool palettes pulling from separate dwg's for different blocks (electrical, cabinetry, plumbing, etc.) located in a shared drive that we all have access to at the office. All of the different dwg's are in one "Source Files" folder. Is the reason I can't update because other users are accessing the system at that time as well? Do I need to make changes and updates when everyone is logged out? I've also been having an annoying issue where the system continuously creates a "New Palette" even though I delete it daily. I delete "New Palette...atc" file from the palettes folder but it continues to appear. I also see the AcTpCatalog.atc file duplicating itself and I am unsure if that has anything to do with it as well. I've attached a screenshot of my palettes folder and what I'm seeing on my plumbing tab after trying to update blocks. Any help is greatly appreciated!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="sneenanKFX38_1-1718033356857.png" style="width: 753px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1374101iC36ABB3D3303DD0B/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="sneenanKFX38_1-1718033356857.png" alt="sneenanKFX38_1-1718033356857.png" /></span></P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="sneenanKFX38_2-1718033570695.png" style="width: 463px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1374104i884B7B7F2A4BA540/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="sneenanKFX38_2-1718033570695.png" alt="sneenanKFX38_2-1718033570695.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 10 Jun 2024 15:34:11 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/adding-amp-updating-blocks-in-tool-palettes-not-cooperating/m-p/12830179#M14562 sneenanKFX38 2024-06-10T15:34:11Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/adding-amp-updating-blocks-in-tool-palettes-not-cooperating/m-p/12989140#M14563 <P>The files duplicating is an interesting thing.

I tried locking it as "read only" status but it just produced new files anytime anything was updated or adjusted so I removed the lock. It seems to be alright now but I'm keeping an eye on it.
