when i try to insert an existing block in a drawing through VBA, the autoCAD throws up the Filer error Set blockBlockRef = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(dblBlockInsPnt, strBLOCKPATH, dblxScale, dblyScale, dblzScale, dblBlockRotation) I am using autoCAD 2004, i checked the past discussion group info.. i had called the Template drawing using the foll.command: Thisdrawing.Application.Documents.Open "C:\AcadDrawings\Template.dwg"
