    No ability to block

    OK is there a secret handshake that i don't know about?

    You all must be doing fine or you'd be screaming. I did a search - and no one is screaming.

    I no longer have the abillity to block. I can't make any blocks! It is not available on the edit toolbar. No cad blocks, no architectural blocks.

    I've been out for awhile and just returned...please tell me the secret handshake.

    Neal - no, can't modify the Edit TB. It is generated by CA. Thanks, though.

    Funny. Ican Block 2 polyline rectangles, I cannot block 2 circles. Can not block rectangle & circle. Can block text and rectangle. Can block text and circle.

    Running ver. 10.06A

    Fresh plan. Fresh boot.

    More playing with this:

    I CAN block - as long as there is Text in the block. So, I'll be including a 1 pt. dot in all my CAD blocks.

    I'll send it to tech support. Watch it be fine after a flight through cyberspace.

    Cheryl.

    I am running 10.6 with no problem. What version are you using? Have you tried rebooting Chief? Is this condition constant?

    David,

    I can get your machine to crash with a blocking maneuver.

    I have no problems making 2 circles into a CAD block in 10.06a. If you have an example of the problem plan, please send it into tech support and make sure to give them the exact steps you are using to reproduce the problem.
