Guys, I'll keep it short, as I'm sure there may be an existing thread on this topic, however, I have not found a complete solution to this problem or identified the cause.
When pasting an updated version of an existing block, the block appears as the pre-existing version of that block and not the new, updated block, that is copied to clip board. This only happens when a similar block already exists within the destination drawing.
Question 1: what causes this issue, I don't believe it is as simple as changing the blocks name, so there must be another identifier for the block that we may or may not be able to change prior to pasting the block in the destination drawing.
The only solution I have found at the moment, is to explode the block prior to copying. This is not ideal as some block attributes best left in a block format. It also causes issues when blocks exist within blocks. That means you must explode all blocks multiple times or some internal blocks maybe replaced or misplaced.
Please let me know if you know of a way to manage the block identifier or any other ways of resolving this issue without having to explode the block, or if there is a way to update the block that is within the destination drawing with the new block.
thank you.
