block blocked

Anonymous

Hello, 

I was creating a block in a file (AutoCAD 2012) and closed the file giving him to save, without giving a block before closing. What happens is that opening the file again appears ONLY the block, that the rest of the information is out there. But I can not close the block in any way, or close block or anything! It is very rare but I hope I have a solution, x what comes to me!

Hi,

 

>> bclose is not possible!

Are you in block-editor when you started that command? Because this command is only available within block-editor!

 

And just to make sure: try that:

_.BCLOSE<ENTER>

 

(just BC)

Hi,

 

Well, in case you are really in block-editor and this command is not recognized then try a reset settings to default so you get a clean AutoCAD profile (

>>>details<<<), in worst case a repair installation might be needed.

 

If you first want to verify more details - before you do a reset - let's start with a screenshot from your block-editor mode.

How does it look on your system. Mine looks like that (and has an icon for closing the blockeditor), how about yours?

Another screenshot from the command-line ... after you have entered _.BCLOSE<ENTER> might also be helpful.
