Inserting a block keeps inserting blocks already there.

Hi, I am using Windows 10, AutoCad Lt. I made a cad file with a logo on it. Every time I "Select file to Insert", I go through the computer until I find the block I want to bring in, click OK, and a part of the logo that is already on the page from the "Current Drawing Blocks" window keeps showing up instead.

Does anyone know what I should do?

Thank you.

AutoCAD/LT feature that is decades old now: a block already in your file with the same name as a block outside of your file is ALWAYS used by default if you do noting more than the basic ways to insert it.

One quick fix option: use RENAME command to rename the unwanted block (and/or the name of the nested block) in your file to something else, then insert that new revised one.
