How to show blocks while insertion

[Karol-Or]

I use INSERT command but until i don't select an insertion point i don't dynamically see the block, so i don't know how to orient it

Hi @Karol-Or,

The normal INSERT command will not show a preview  in the dialog such as Design Center does.

However, it should show you a preview when asking for an insertion point. Is it not doing this for you?

Do you have DRAGMODE turned off [the System Variable set to 0]?  Set it to Auto [System Variable 2].

There is no preview during insertion even with DRAGMODE on.

Now i see that if i uncheck the Explode option in the INSERT dialog it is shown. this is on Acad 2006, i didn't check it yet on 2013

Hi,

that is true.. when Explode is ticked you will insert non block items,for this you will not see any block preview.

[Karol-Or]

Is there a way to see the block preview without Explode ticked?

When your block is exist ; select it then right click then go to addselect command.
