    Question When I download and open DB I see the following message - contains authoring elements

    Hi Me again!
    I must be doing something wrong !!
    When i download and open any of these blocks of yours I get dialog window saying it contains authoring elements, I click ok to open in the block editor, but when i close the editor it also closes the drawing!
    I'm sure it's just me being thick but any suggestions How I sort it out!


    Thanks in advance!

    Not doing anything wrong. Sometimes, the drawings you download are only the blocks themselves which have to be either dragged and dropped from your desktop to your CAD application, or brought in from DesignCentre.

    Some of the drawings posted here are like that, but the majority are not.
