lisp to explode a block scaled nonuniformly

jtm2020hyo — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 03:47:07 GMT

I rescaled multiple blocks nonuniformly, but when I tried to explode/burst, arcs are converted to eclipse and dynamic blocks are converted to unexplodable and uneditable blocks.

so, I just want the get the objects that appear in the left again when explode but reubicated in as the block was scaled.

attached one drawing for documentation.

the block name is *E5

can not be exploded or edited.

does not appear in the bloc list.
so, this is a bug?

Before asking question it is a good idea to check older posts or just use google.

Here @Kent1Cooper explains whay this happens.

thanks for answer, I did not know.

exist any way to explode without rescaling uniformly?

or maybe export block coordinates to excel and re-insert the block, lines and any object?

....

Open the underlying dynamic Block name in the Block Editor [BEDIT command], and in the Properties palette, change the "Allow exploding" value to Yes.

I re-revised again and my block are allowed to exploding them.

when I resize uniformly block is allowed again to be exploded, but I need to keep the blocks coordinates, the solution may be might be to export all block with their coordinates to excel, delete unexplodable blocks and import blocks since excel, I know that such lisp for export and import block since excel or CSV exist, but I did not found.

I think, maybe,such excel lisp was created by you...

I don't think that could have been created by me. I don't deal with external files [other than Xrefs] enough to have a use for such a thing, and I don't remember writing a routine like that.

[By the way, I don't mean to pick on your English (I envy people who can communicate in more than one language, which I cannot), but here's a little English vocabulary item, which I mention only because I've seen others make the same mistake, or maybe they use the same translator that makes the same mistake, and native English speakers may be confused by it:
Your phrase "import block since excel" should be "import block from excel" instead. The word "since" does have a "from"-related meaning, but it's about "from in relation to time " -- for example, "I have been using AutoCAD since 1984" or "it has been raining since 8:00 this morning." But for what you are talking about here, from is the correct word.]

thanks for the answers and sorry for my bad English

...but there does not exist any solution alternative? ... I just want to keep insertion points.
