So if they all have the same names, but have different content, you can't insert together without using referencing and bind. If a block is going to have a different definition, then it must have a different name. So to recap, it is important to give consideration to the block names. Once you explode the file you bound, you will see it has a new block name: You are presented with two options:ĭon't use Insert as that is the same as inserting the DXF into the other file. Then, if you type XREF again and right-click your reference: What you can do is XREF instead (once you made it a DWG): Thus it can't insert the data because of this issue. As a result, when you try to insert DXF number 2 into DXF number 1 you are presented with these warnings: Command: INSERTĭuplicate definition of block GROUP3209FF10 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP3209F8D0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP320A0410 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP3209FE70 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP320A0370 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP320A0550 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP320A02D0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP262224A0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP26222360 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP262222C0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP26222220 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP26221BE0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP262275E0 ignored.ĭuplicate definition of block GROUP26221FA0 ignored. Also, it is easy to reuse libraries of drawings and block. With the new capabilities offered on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, DraftSight users can always be confident that clients and colleagues get the right drawing (not an obsolete version). In a DXF file you can't have multiple definitions with the same name. Open a task to add comments, upload file attachments, add labels, due dates, and more. Each BLOCK (despite being different) has the same name.You can add to Components or remove Elements. Each of your drawings contains a single instance of a BLOCK object. During a Component editing session, you can access and modify individual Elements of Blocks and References.Now, open up your second DXF ( EXPO CVY01 TEST.dxf) directly and do the same exercise: BLOCK REFERENCE Layer: "0" If you physically open EXPO CVX01.dxf (don't insert it) and list the contents of the drawing you will be presented with one element: BLOCK REFERENCE Layer: "0"Īs you can see, it is a BLOCK REFERENCE ( Block Name: "GROUP320A0230").
