Hi I have created a drawing with about 60 - 70 blocks on that I will use constantly, I normally wblock the blocks to created individual drawings of each block. is there any way that I can do this with one command or do I have to do the Wblock command for every individual block

thanking you in advance

If you want individual drawing files of each block, I believe the answer is Yes. If you are using AutoCAD 2005 or up. You can use the Design Center to create a tool palette which would need all of those blocks in a base drawing, like you already have. You could then use the tool palette to insert your blocks into cad.

If you're adamant in making them into separate DWG files ... then you can use my code in this thread:

The MWBLOCK command is what you're asking for.

Do you have an updated version which would overwrite any existing file and hardcode the directory instead of a popup box.
