    Default Wblock and Defpoints

    I have wblocked out some data and started over with the wblocked file. Templates here at new company are so convoluted and corrupt.

    How can I incorporate Defpoints back into the wblocked file I am using?

    I don't know much about data and what you're doing or if this even applies, but remember that defpoints and layer zero are tied together, so you would need them both on, thawed and unlocked to grab items on defpoints.

    -LAYER, NEW, DEFPOINTS

    It's a 'magic' name to AutoCAD, so once you create it, it's line any other defpoints layer.

    Of just create an associative dimension, and it will be automagically created.

    Like cadtag said when needed for dimensions it's automajically created.

    I'd like to add that it's for dimensions and it's a bad idea to use it for anything else!
