Title: import block from other drawing, on layer from drawing
Post by: DraxJDM on May 20, 2021, 05:16:17 AM

hey all,

i use the code from Lee mac http://www.lee-mac.com/copyblockfromdrawing.html (http://www.lee-mac.com/copyblockfromdrawing.html)

It works fine, except it imports the block on the current layer.
Can this be changend so the blocks comes in at the layer it is in the source drawing?

The program is importing the block definition from the source drawing and then inserting a reference of such definition into the active drawing; what if there are multiple references in the source drawing, each residing on different layers?
