Limit to block quantity

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a drawing that has 2000 of the same block in it. If I put 2001 in it I get an error. Is there  a limit to the quantity of the same block that can be put in a drawing?

All responses are greatly appreciated,

Russell

Not that I'm aware of -- I just tried something with more than 2000 without a problem.

 

If it may have anything to do with drawing file size, rather than what in particular is making the drawing too big, and if any of those Blocks can be in a regular rectangular arrangement, you can reduce the file size quite a bit by using MINSERT rather than Insert and Array.

Hi,

 

>> If I put 2001 in it I get an error

Which error?

 

To check if your current drawing has some errors you can either run command _AUDIT or run command _WBLOCK and create a new (cleaned) drawing from your existing one (to continue your work).

Thanks for the info and suggestions. After it was said that there was not a 2000 block quantity limit I looked in another area. There is an app involved in my autocad and I found that the limit is in it. After working with this app I was able to eliminate the problem.

 

Thanks again for your help,

In my excitement I forgot to mark it as answer. Thanks for doing that for me.
