hi friends,
I am using AutoCAD 2016
When I Paste any block from any file to a file containing a block with the same name I don't get a notification for redefining blocks.
its simply ignore and gives back the same block which is already defined in the drawing in which I want to paste.
is there any system variable to change this?
¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.

I am not getting the insertion prompt.
I get following in the command line
Command: _pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _Oblique ignored.
Duplicate definition of block hyd ignored.
Duplicate definition of block PA-NK NAME PLATE FINAL ignored.
Specify insertion point:

@Anonymous hello, try to install latest updates/service packs from autodesk and see if helps. Or post your drawing here so we can check. thanks

Hi,
please find this video, which shows how to redefine multiple blocks with in one step (using temporary block-in-block):

It has always been that way, and I have always thought the message should be worded differently, because the definition may not be duplicated -- it's only a Block name that's used in both the current drawing and the stuff being brought in. I'd prefer something like:
Duplicate Block name WHATEVER involved -- using this drawing's definition.
Besides other suggestions, another way you can do it is, instead of using Copy/Paste, to WBLOCK the Block definition from the first drawing to a little drawing file of the same name as the Block, and redefine it in the second drawing in the process of INSERTing it from that file:
-INSERT WHATEVER=
Note the hyphen before the command name, and the equal sign after the Block name with nothing following that. That means it should look for an external drawing of the same name as the Block. If WHATEVER is already a Block name used in the current drawing, it will ask you whether you want to redefine it.
EDIT: And, if instead of Copy/Paste operation, you call up the Design Center in the target drawing, and bring up the Blocks list for the source drawing, there's the option to redefine [with or without Inserting one, too] right there:
and you don't even need the source drawing to be open, as you do if you Copy/Paste. If you do Copy/Paste multiple objects at once, including multiple Blocks that you want redefined, you can use this afterwards with the Redefine-only option to update them.

instead of copying, using WBLOCK is best practice.
the notification also appears in this method.
however, there must be notification in AutoCAD while pasting blocks with the same name.

I actually just got this error using -insert whatever=
usually works for me but lately I've had a handful of issues since the last update, wondering if they changed a system variable.
for instance i had GRIPS=2 and somehow it changed on it's own
