    Can anyone explain to me what the (assoc 71) is in a Block Definition? It is
    not listed in the DXF reference as being a member of a Block def., yet I
    seem to have found a few blocks that have it and using (entmod) on them to
    change the layer fails. Below are the results of (entget) on 2 blocks. The
    first exhibits the (71 . 1) while the second does not.......

    Command: (setq test (entget (tblobjname "block" "test")))
    ((-1 . <Entity name: 400a0f80>) (0 . "BLOCK") (330 . <Entity name:
    400a0f68>)
    (5 . "860") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (8 . "old-one") (62 . 7) (6 .
    "Continuous") (370 . 0) (100 . "AcDbBlockBegin") (70 . 0) (71 . 1) (10 0.0
    0.0
    0.0) (-2 . <Entity name: 400a0f88>) (2 . "TEST") (1 . ""))

    Command: (entget (tblobjname "block" "car"))
    ((-1 . <Entity name: 400a2708>) (0 . "BLOCK") (330 . <Entity name:
    400a2528>)
    (5 . "961") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (8 . "0") (100 . "AcDbBlockBegin")
    (70 . 0) (10 0.0 0.0 0.0) (-2 . <Entity name: 400a2530>) (2 . "CAR") (1 .
    ""))

    Thanks,

    Note, this is NOT an insert, but the block definition itself......
