dynamic block hatch problem

maxML94G — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:34:35 GMT

Hello,

I made a few dynamic blocks. I put hem in a seperate DWG file, and put them in a toolpallette.
Now when I insert te block in a new empty drawing, de hatches are not good anymore.
When I right click in the toolpallette and select redefine the block is good again.

Is there an option to solve this?
I don't want to redefine everytime I put in a dynamic block.

Now I also made a start drawing with a few block allready in the dwg. Even than some hatches quit being associative and do not work anymore.

Maybe I did something wrong?

Please let me know if somebody can help me?

How should we know if and what you're doing wrong while we don't know what you're doing?

Show us (post here) one ore some block examples ...

Well here is my DWG.

When you open it, you can see some blocks. (I put them in the dwg.)

When I add them to the DWG from my toolpalette. Most of the hatches will not be associative anymore.

But when I select redefine from my toolpalette, they become associative again.

It is not with every hatch I noticed.

Now I put those blocks in the DWG.

The first time I open de DWG it is all good.

But when I close the DWG and open it again, the hatches are broken again.

Then I have to redefine everything again.

How can I solve this problem?
If you need more, please ask.

At first look, I can't see any problems with your blocks. They seem to work normally for me. Please describe step by step what I need to do to reproduce the problem.

Well, for example. put the "velux" block in a toolpallette. (velux are the C10 details)

Than if you insert the velux block in a new dwg, the hatches don't work.
I have to right click in the toolpallet on the block to redefine.

after the redefine it works.

I think it might has to do with front or background lines??? (if so, I can edit the blocks so there aren't lines above each other)

Hmm.

If I open your dwg and analyze the velux test block I find a non assoziative hatch in the block definition. Of course it will not be updated in the block reference. >>video<<

But: I I put this block in the tool palette and insert the block in a new file from the toolpalette it works well immadiately, without a redefine (and a look in the blockeditor shows me that the hatch suddenly is assoziative.)

Now I'm confused ... I do not yet know what really happens 😞
