But, that of course means you would almost be starting over. If you just paste a single block of each, they can then be inserted from the Block List without creating duplicates in the list. Pasting a second time will add a subsequent set of blocks. Selecting one of each and then copying & pasting will result in a single block of each. All the others are legitimate blocks with associate entities and increases the files size, but it appears they can be safely deleted.Ĭopying & pasting to a new drawing, whether selecting all of them individually or via a select window copies all blocks to the new drawing. It appears that only "0.5-tab", "1-tab" and "3-tab" are being used in the drawing (shop-south_roofing-only_.dxf). I can't say why there are so many duplicates either, but by turning the blocks off ("Hide all blocks" in the Block List widget) and then turning them on one by one you can begin to see which ones are being used. I may do that because I might never finish these drawings using the Linux version Shop-south_roofing-copy_test.dxf shop-south_roofing-only_.dxf RE: using Windows version through Wine. Sorry about the large file with the many blocks. If you want to play with the files, they are uploaded here. Importing a file as a block was the only way to retain all layer information. I had not used this technique before because when i copy and pasted into an existing drawing with layers, the paste would loose all layer information. All the block elements that were no longer in the block list did not get saved and only the sheathing, tar paper and "0.5-tab" shingles remained. Highlighting the elements to copy also highlighted some ghost elements (invisible), in a similar configuration as the shingles, in the lower left of the drawing near the 0,0 coordinate. It removed the "1-tab" and "3-tab" blocks from the block list, even though the blocks are still visible in the drawing. That removed all blocks from the block list except for "0.5-tab" shingle block (a block of a small piece of a "3-tab" shingle). There are 54 "3-tab" shingles in each of the two drawings.įollowing your suggestion, I copied (crtl + C) and pasted (ctrl + V) the shingles, the tar paper and the roof sheathing to a new file (Involves seven layers).
