OK, so yesterday  after posting this i tried a couple more things to get this working.

 

Yesterday i worked out that there was a block with proxy graphics (a leader in this case) that was stopping the copy function from working. so once that block was exploded i could copy everything. once in a new DWG i could do everything as expected with the blocks and the ones i had already changed were working properly in the new drawing. so all was good there.

 

this made me wonder if maybe there was something funny going on with the layers though. Like maybe someone had renamed or changed Layer 0. which i knew wasn't possible, but maybe if this drawing had come from a different program it was a translation issue. so i tried to delete/rename Layer 0 to make sure no one had done anything funny with the layers. As expected i couldn't. This led me to believe that everything was fine with the layers.

 

so just now i thought to give you guys a copy of the drawing i would delete everything out of the drawing and purge it then post a copy of the DWG for you, as i figured it would be a setting in the DWG file that was amiss as opposed to the content in it. low and behold when i purged it i got rid of everything except for 2 layers. layer 0 (which was active) and a layer called "BASE" so i tried to manually delete base and it gave me the "Layer _ Not deleted" dialog that comes up when you try and delete/rename layer 0. so i tried to create a block with lines on layer "BASE" and what do you know, it works like layer 0. so i tried changing one of the blocks in the original drawing to layer "BASE" and it works as expected.

 

so i would assume that this DWG  was exported/created from another program and changed/added to over the years and no one ever noticed or cared to work out why layer 0 wasn't working properly.

 

thanks for the responses folks, and if you really want a copy of the drawing please let me know and i can post the "blank" version with the 2 layers in it.
