The company I work for is new to Solidworks so when I startedin April I found that the only templates they had were importedfrom autocad and didn't link to custom properties. So at that timeI went about creating templates and sheet formats along with anumber of blocks for diffrent types of manufacturing processes suchas stamping with sheet thickness, material type, and inspectionstandard number then one for plastics with material, nominal wallthickness, color ect.

Well now 9 months later and I have learned more about whatinformation we need in the blocks so I am trying to update them. Ithink it should be a simple process of insert the block, edit itand resave either as the same or new file name. What happens thoughis I edit the block, and rebuilt. While in the edit block commandeverything looks fine, when I rebuild however edits to notes havehappened but if I moved a note it moves.

I thought this was an easy glitch to overcome by exploding theblock and remaking it so I did that. I bring in a block, explodeit, edit, recreate the block, save it over the old file and closethe drawing. Open a new drawing and insert the block. It turns outthat the block I just inserted is the original block again reborn.

Has anyone else had this trouble? If so have you managed to fixit?SolidworksDrawings And Detailing
