Topic: Help me find the name

[Luke]

Look in this drawing.  I've drawn a green box around the block I'm interested in....

I can only find the temp names *U346.  Can comebody tell me how to find the original or how to get into this block in the dynamic block editor.

[mjfarrell]

the single biggest reason one should NOT copy blocks, or use copy clip....are the resultant UNAMED blocks..

Give this a whirl...if it crashes your session, try running..close the drawing saving changes, then reopen and your block should be ok.

Code: [Select]

(vla-put-name
  (vla-item (vla-get-blocks
      (vla-get-activedocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
      )
    )
    (vla-get-effectivename
      (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel)))
    )
  )
  "mynewblock"
)
