Can I create an arraypath block that can be modified?

[Anonymous]

Greetings!

I've drawn a flexible duct using a spline and an ellipse that I converted to a block. I placed the ring on the spline using the center of the ellipse as a base point. At this point, I can click the spline and twist and bend it, add and remove fit points and it will add/remove ellipses accordingly.

If I now make a block out of this, so that I can add it to a palette and use it for later, I can no longer modify the spline, curving it as I need it to...

Is there a way to make this happen, or do I have to copy/paste this into ever document each time I need it?

Welcome to the Forums

It's either copy and paste OR create the block put it in your drawing and then EXPLODE the block. You can set it to automatically EXPLODE using the properties.

Think of a block as an object frozen in ice: now you'll understand the excellent tip offered by @h_s_walker

That's exactly what I needed! (The explode mode) 

Many thanks!
