Title: Edit block in separate window
Post by: Woabow on December 29, 2011, 12:28:43 PM

Ok, there is REFEDIT and BEDIT. But i'm looking for a routine that edits a block in a separate drawing window.  I'm not familiar with BEDIT because I use Bricscad but the main reason for wanting this is speed. I have very big drawings with very big, complicated blocks. Editing these blocks with REFEDIT still keeps all other objects visible so panning, zooming slows the editing down.

Does anybody know of a routine that does something like:
- select block
- wblock the selected block to random name
- open the saved block in new drawing window
- on exit save block (or cancel no save)
- go back to original drawing
- replace block with edited block

You basically described the BEdit command  :?

Yes, I know. But Bricscad does not have BEdit...
