    Question title block and attributes in autocad 2004

    Good evening
    I apologize if this is not the right forum for this question, but here it goes anyway.
    I created a Title block drawing with all attributes, but the when I converted into a block, I can not insert as a block into a another drawing. it tells me that the block references itself and if I rename the block and reinsert as a block and click on the attributes to edit, nothing happens, is just a block, the only way it works is by doing a copy/paste. Is this the way is supposed to work? I have tried and tried but still same result.
    Thank you for all your support and cooperation

    Sincerely
    Mara E

    Moved to appropriate forum for you.

    But to try to fix your problem, what you need to do is WBLOCK out your title block using the "block" radio button option, not "objects". (if that's what you did)

    What is happening is that you have a nested block file, and that file is named the same as your title block, right?
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    Or to clarify what Chris is trying to say, check out Irneb's explanation.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.
