Problem with multiple block replacements

[KChyld]

I have the following switch created:

As you can see there are multiple places where I would like to insert blocks as part of the conversion. However, when I run this as is, my "all_shapes.dwg" comes out somewhat garbled. If I comment out all but 1 of the switches that contain block replacements, it will run just fine.

So it seems that multiple block replacemtens are not functioning. Or am I doing something wrong?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,

Yes, actually only a single DWG Blocks file is supported per Group translation. Also we have changed the specification of where to place the /PB switch. It must be placed on the same line as the Group (/G) switch.

Example:

/G /PB="G:\ArcViewdata\ARCVIEW\W-FH.dwg"

Download the latest software here.

http://www.guthcad.com/download.htm

It has updated documentation about placement of the /PB and /G switches.

Hopefully it will cure the problem.

best regards
