Hi All,
I searched the forum and found a very similar thread from 2013 here but it doesn't have a solution, only a work-around:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/tool-palette-not-exploding-properly/m-p/3941324#M22284
I've been working with tool palettes since they came out (and I love them) and haven't seen this problem until now. I've upgraded to v2017 several months ago and to my knowledge, this problem did not exist before v2017.
I have a TP that contains a family of standard details. The properties are all set as shown in the attached screenshot. Notice that the "Insert > Explode" is set to "Yes" and this is where I believe the issue exists. If I drag the block from the TP into the drawing or pick on it and pick an insertion point in the drawing, either way the block is exploded BUT certain objects are changed from the layer they were on in the source drawing, to layer "0"
What's up with that??
If I change the properties of the block in the TP from what is shown attached to "Insert > Explode" "No" and complete the insertion and THEN manually explode the block, all is good. This was pointed out in the referenced thread.
The objects that are being moved to a different layer are all blocks themselves, and they are being moved to layer "0"
NOTE: They are not being exploded, only moved to layer "0"
Arghhhh, I just now noticed that all the TPs I've been using for years without a problem, are not exhibiting the same results.
Someone, please tell me there is a hot fix or a SP to make this right. Please help me.
