Reference Styles causing Block Errors in Template

mconway · ‎10-17-2022

1. The Description Key Set is Not a Referenced Object

2. To Create a Description Key Set, The Template must contain the CoGo Point Styles.

3. CoGo Point Styles require Blocks

4. The Template CoGO Point Styles are then Overwritten by the Referenced CoGo Point Styles of the same name. Which also contain Referenced Blocks of the same name.

The Issue: When starting a Drawing with the Template, it starts with 109 Errors (when Audited.) All of which are Block Definition Errors. If I remove the Reference Template, the Errors go away.

How do I stop the reference Template from causing these Errors?

Things that I have tried:

Redefine the Reference Blocks from the Template Blocks (and vice -versa)

Remove the Blocks from Referencing into Template (to do this I must also Remove the CoGo Point Styles from referencing.) It kind of defeats the purpose.

Delete the Description Key Set, Purged the Unreferenced CoGo Point Styles and Block from the Template, Reference in the CoGo Point Styles (No change still causes Block Errors)

Personally, I look at reference templates like I do xrefs. I wouldn't xref the same data into a drawing twice, so why would I reference the same point styles etc in a second time. I really don't think that that was the intent, it was more for starting with a Survey.dwt and then adding the data for a Civil.dwt. Or just reference some other companies' dwt into a drawing.
