Inserting "external" blocks in current drawing

    Hello everyone:

    I'm trying to create a VBA routine to insert blocks of doors & windows, but
    need some help, please....

    The door selection dialog has three combo boxes with Door Types, Wall Sizes
    and Door Sizes.
    See: http://www.bygroup.com/temp/insertdoors.jpg

    Once the user selects all options and presses the insert button, I would
    like to insert the block, but my problem is that all my doors are blocks
    inside of a Template drawing.
    See:http://www.bygroup.com/temp/masterdrawing.jpg

    What I need to do is to insert a block FROM this external template into the
    current drawing. I tried the "sendcommand" to use "-insert", but it seems
    that that would only work if each door was an individual drawing.

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance!

    (please reply to newsgroup or "bstn-spam @ earthlink.net")
