When importing dxf-file or pasting dxf-drawing from other window old content from a previous import is pasted. This seems to be connected to the opened file and can not be replaced, thus making it impossible to add new parts to the drawing. Clipboard Display shows correct part, not the same as what is pasted.

If your drawing contains a block "A" and you insert or import a drawing "A.dxf", it will create a block reference to existing block "A", not overwriting the existing block "A".

You can overwrite blocks by checking option "Overwrite blocks" in the options toolbar.
