Block recursions

Post by Mr Confused » Tue Mar 22, 2016 2:57 pm

Can i ask what is a block recursion?
You see I want to select an item and copy it or insert a block or copy to the note pad but QCAD wants to say..
Transaction failed check for locked or invisible layers or block recursions.
nothing is locked, everything but the layer I'm working on is invisible as per protocol.
but we just can't seem to agree Qcad and Me.

A block recursion happens if a block directly or indirectly contains a reference to itself. I.e. a block "A" contains a block reference of block "A".

Please attach your drawing file and indicate what you are trying to do, so we can help efficiently, thanks.

Trial: this file was (before closing down) suffering from warped Z axis zoom syndrome. also had developed some block recursion i think.

Thanks for the file. Please add detailed instructions how to reproduce the problem. Which part of the drawing do you select, what tools do you use on the selection, etc. Thanks.
