Block problem between 2008 and older versions

[jonathan.a.pitt]

Hi, I have just come across a problem with a drawing I have produced on 2008LT when viewing it in earlier versions (2007 and 2004LT)

I have created a block within a drawing and then modified it a number of times. For arguments sake, lets say a rectangle which has changed size a few times.

I have saved the drawing, purged it etc so there should be nothing hanging around which shouldn't be there.

When a colleague has opened the drawing in 2007 she can see all the different versions of the block overlapping each other. All of them seem to be saved as a new block together without a name. Once exploded all the separate versions can be deleted one by one.

Anyone come across this before, and is there a solution. Hopefully not so it gives me some more ammunition to management to get us all using the same version of Autocad!

Cheers for any help.

Jonathan

If the original blocks are annotative, look into the Savefidelity system variable.
