Topic: Bursting a previously inserted block?

[AVCAD]

Is there away to burst a block right after you insert it. The Select previous command doesn't work very well and usually selects the object you had selected before you inserted the block.

I am sure there is just a function I don't know.

I am on ACAD 2006.

Thanks in advance.

just a side question cause I am working on something right now with fields.....

Fieldeval = 31

what is 31?

I know there are

0 - not updated
1 - update on open
2 - update on save
4 - update on plot
8 - update on etransmit
16 - updated on regen

but there is no definition for 31 and thats the default value of that variable

thanks again.

(+ 0 1 2 4 8 16) = ?

Use 'Last'

Command: burst
Select objects: L
1 found
Select objects:
/

Just be careful to make sure that that particular object is visible on the screen, otherwise you'll end up with the same problem you had to begin with.

I would use ' (entlast) ' incase the block is off screen, otherwise use what Luis posted.  Just tested, can not be used, as burst is a lisp routine.  I think I wrote a burst routine here somewhere.  So I would go with what Luis said.

Daron beat me to the waring, but I'm still posting!

I must have other kind of powers, because here I can do that.... and works

[AVCAD]

the "last" option might not work always but the entlast would

So can i just write a small lisp to select the last object using entlast, load it through a button and then use the burst command?

I know burst wont work through lisps...not really sure why though but its been like that since forever.

You can try the routine here [> LINK <].

You could also insert blocks using the tool palette and set the explode option to yes:

now, I am all confused..... are you guys talking about explode or the burst command?

Should be burst.  Explode won't keep the attribute information, so I would think that explode is a no go.

[AVCAD]

ya no explode.

I actually wish Autodesk would just get rid of that command. But then how would you fix those lovely proxy images with embedded colors from arch desktop....oh wait i know use bylayer instead of embedding colors...oops..i should probably head over to the vent thread...
