Hello and good morning
How do I combine object 1 and 2 into an new block (See below)?
I cannot select Objects 1 & 2 in the model space when creating a new block, and I cannot create a new block while in editing Block1 ("Block command not allowed in block editor"). Seems like this should be simple, am I missing something?
(I am working on an assembly with many blocks many levels deep - please please don't tell me that the only way is to explode block 1, create new block with objects 1 & 2 and then recreate block 1, that would ruin my day).
Existing Structure:
Model space
-Block1
--Object1
--Object2
-Block 2
--Etc.
Desired Structure:
Model space
-Block1
--NEW BLOCK
---Object1
---Object2
-Block 2
--Etc.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Right, the object 1&2 is in block1
>"and I cannot create a new block while in editing Block1 "
Right, because all you can select is already part of Block1
>" please please don't tell me that the only way is to explode block 1,"
You can not explode a BLOCK, you can only explode BLOCKREFERENCES what is needless.

That's the way! BUT You don't need to RE-CREATE a Block, you can also EDIT a Block by using REFEDIT or BEDIT.

The ordner 😉
Simple thing:
[>>this part is just a sample how to do it]
copy one Blockreference of Block1,
explode it to get a copy of obj1+2
Or crate new objects.. thats your thing - how you like to do
[<< sample]
- Create a new Block "NEWBLOCK"
- Use BEDIT to edit Block1, delete obj1+2 and insert a blockreference of NEWBLOCK.

voila
Onother way: WBLOCK, Block -> Block1
By this way you create a DWG (and you can insert a DWG AS BLOCK later)
Open new new file Block1.dwg,
create the NEWBLOCK
qsave
back in your drawing: Command INSERT [Browse...] -> and select Block1.dwg
Say YES to redefine question..
TWO ways, your choice
