is it pronounced whidjer or wahidjer?

Ummm yes, I'd like to buy a vowel please.

It is not pronounced any way.

I found long ago that testing for the availability of a property via vlax-property-available-p, testing its current state, and then changing the state was far slower than just putting the hammer down inside a error trap. Not recommended as a blanket technique, but for some things it dramatically drops prosessing times where applicable and beneficial (like processing tens of thousands of drawings via objectdbx). Use carefully, again, not a blanket solution.

So...Do you always advocate speed over safety?

I don't do letters.  I'm going to pronounce it as something.  If you won't give your preferance, I get to choose.  As of now, you are Whidjer.

I believe I addressed that already.

Just out of curiosity, can any other this be used when you come across a block that cannot be exploded?  Not talking 2k6, but lower versions. There have been times when you have a block that is not exploded because of different x,y scales and other things of that nature.

Hi

Maybe take a look at system variable EXPLMODE.

Have a good one, Mike

Open the new block editor feature for the block in question and check the properties window>>Block>>Allow Exploding>>Yes/No

[whdjr]

Good find Dan.
