    Cad block problem - Symbols

    Hello all,
    I have a wall mounted dryer above a washer. I plan view the washer is on top of the dryer. I have tried the block - unblock trick, but to no avail.
    I have also tried deleting and re-fitting both items and replacing them with others. Same result.
    Is there a way around this? is there a fix? or any other suggestions.
    I have done the same configuration before with no problems.
    Thanks

    Peter,

    Using Chief 10.08 Full I have been able to block a washer and dryer, stacked one on top of the other in an elevation camera and in plan view (it creates an "Architectural Block" which you can then select and add to your "Library Browser" if you like. Either you are not doing what I think you are doing or you just need to reboot Chief and try again.

    I may have misunderstood what it is that you are trying to do and can't or trying to avoid, help me out, OK?

    Thanks,
    David for your prompt response and solution
    Rebooting Chief did the trick.
    As I said I had success doing this before.
    I have now blocked this combo and added to My library.
    Have a good weekend
