Bsave dynamic blocks

    Hi all,
    I have been trying for hours to save the dynamic blocks I created in
    block editor. I am creating a linear aray with a simple shape.
    Creating works fine and after returning to the drawing editor the aray
    works fine.
    However when I want to use the newly created (or re-created) block in
    a new drawing the block has lost all its dynamic parameters.
    I have done this exercise before and had no problems. The blocks I
    created weeks ago are still working fine with any new drawing.
    I am at the end and need help. It seems that bsave does not save the
    dynamic block. When I look in my block directory then the date and
    time do reflect the time when I bsave-d the block but remain the date
    and time when initially created. And yes my explorer is set to show
    "last modified".
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Maybe try using design center to steal the block out of the drawing
    that it works in. You could als use design center to steal it from
    that same drawing and put on a tool pallete

    Daniel,

    Depending on how you are getting your block out of your drawing you
    might have a block within a block and that is why you are not seeing the
    dynamics. An alternative is that you have Explode checked in the insert
    dialog.

    I think bsave just saves the block within its containing file, you still
    need to save the containing file or save the block out of the containing
    file into a new file.
