...drawing contains authoring elements. Open in block editor?

[pmedina]

I just opened a drawing and got the message "...drawing contains authoring elements. Open in block editor?"

It seems like this is a dynamic block that exists in a drawing without actually being a block - if that makes sense. In other words if I open the drawing directly (if i ignore the message) there are no blocks in the drawing. But it can be inserted into another dwg and behave like a dynamic block.

I have created dyn. blocks. But only know how to create them as a 'fully formed' block within the drawing & must insert & explode to get to the actual dyn. block.

How does one do the dyn. block without actually having to have a nested block?

If my questions are not clear, please let me know and i will try to clarify.

This and this may explain.

i did a quick search for "WBLOCK" and found THIS thread at the top of the list... hopefully it makes sense once you get to the end.... (sorry for my previously worthless link)

No neew for wblock. Just insert it and it will be fine.
