    Default Rename individual blocks

    I have a drawing with lots of identical parts inserted as blocks. Is it possible to modify one of these without it affecting all of them. I see an easy way to do it if Autocad allows it is to rename one block then modify it. Is there a way to achieve this or is there some way to modify only one block without exploding it then re-saving it as a new block?

    You can use BEDIT to make changes, and then do a Save Block As, to save these changes to a new name.
    Then upon exiting the block editor, replace the insertions as needed.

    Thanks that looks like it will do the trick.
    I'll test it and let you know how it goes.
