NCOPY as a block in another block?

Hello,

 

Is it possible to copy a nested block quickly? NCOPY command works to select nested objects in blocks but it selects and copies one by one and not as a whole block. 

 

I mean: I have a block named Block-A, there are some other nested blocks in it. Let us say one of them is Block-B.

 

I would like to be able to select Block B simply clicking or windowing it thanks to a command or a lisp. What I am searching for is something possible?

 

Best Regards,

Latif

Maybe look at this. A lisp was posted on NCOPY with window. I haven't tried it.

Thank you for your respond.

 

It seems, it is not what I am searching for. It would be perfect if I were able to copy it just clicking etc. The method in the link is more complicated.

You'll have to look into customizing, start with this tip

Thank you for your reply.

 

I realize that lisp yesterday while I was searching it. It is very helpful. (And there are also some more very effective lisps there.) Thanks them too.

 

But unfortunately most of my blocks are dynamic and Extract Nested Block lisp did not work for them. (I dont know maybe it is not possible to Extract Nested Blocks for Dynamic Blocks. There was another similar lisp named Nested Move and it did not move for Dynmic Blocks too.) However, I might use that lisp for other blocks except dynmic ones.
