Flatten command is changing the layer of some block references to the current layer.

I have some drawings with some block references. The block references are on a layer named "PROCESS". Some of these drawings, when I run the flatten command on this geometry, the layer changes to whatever the current layer is.

Is there something broken about these block references that I can fix so it stops happening? I've no idea why this is happning.

Hi,

 

 

>>"Flatten command is changing the layer of some block references to the current layer."

'Some'? Strange. ALL selected blockreference should be on the current layer.

Option HIDE Yes or No?

Which product version you are running?

@siposdonel So FLATTEN command does so much, way more than just more objects to Z=0, so yes, it's possibly your block contained many layers or that one layer and the command could have done something you don't want.

If you want to share "before and after" DWG files someone here could probably help dissect it for you, if just fixing the results is too cumbersome to pursue as an option.
