What happens if you don't select this option? To edit non-uniformly scaled block, you need to set explmode=1.E.g. The block you inserted is non-uniformly scaled block, and also, the variable explmode is set to be 0. You have to re-define a new block and tick the box “Allow exploding”. Exploding this block will get message from command line: “1 could not be exploded.”. You create this block in autocad and not checking on “ Allow exploding“. We can’t explode block for several reasons, now allowed, non-uniformly. Remember that Blocks can be scaled, clipped using the XCLIP or CLIPIT commands, etc so consider other options before exploding them. If they have been created as blocks is for a reason, so exploding them might screw up someone else’s effort. The Block should explode.Īs I said before, be careful about exploding blocks (specially in a multiuser environment). Now select the Block, enter X for EXPLODE. You will see that the “allow exploding” option is unselected. Then on the drop down list search for the block you are unable to explode. The trick is to open the block definition dialog box (type “b”, or “block”) without selecting anything. If you don’t know that this exists, you might find yourself unable to explode a block that you really, really, really need to explode (I am no fan of Block exploding, I mostly hate people who do that as a hobby, but sometimes you do need to explode them). One of this is the option to not allow the block to be exploded. When a Block is created there are several options that sometimes are overlooked.
