Loading Blocks

Hello all

How to load a drawing file as a block in to the drawing (The browse method.)

I tried with the dwg path in the block name but it doesnt support it.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a snippet of code that is working for me:
[pre]
' Open the template drawing
ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open Name:=OLPTemplateDwg, ReadOnly:=True
ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomAll

' Insert the package drawing in model space and explode it.
InsertPoint(X) = 0#
InsertPoint(Y) = 0#
InsertPoint(Z) = 0#

ThisDrawing.MSpace = True

Set PkgDrawing = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.InsertBlock _
(InsertPoint, strPackageFile, 1, 1, 1, 0)

Entities = PkgDrawing.Explode
PkgDrawing.Delete

ThisDrawing.Application.ZoomExtents
[/pre]


Note: the variable strPackageFile contains the full name of an AutoCAD drawing that the user selected from a common dialog.

Example: "D:\MyFiles\Test.dwg"

 

Thanks Jack
