Hello,
some blocks cannot be copied from one file to another.
I receive the message "Circular (recursive) block referencing" when copying.
What can be done to solve this problem ?
Attached a file with blocks.

Re: Circular (recursive) block referencing message
Please provide more detailed information. Which block(s) are you copying? Are you pasting into the main drawing (Model_Space) or into another existing block?
I can see that block "PC+TEL+TV" contains a reference to itself, but QCAD should fix that on load (by removing that reference).

[SOLVED] Circular (recursive) block referencing message
I wanted to copy multiple blocks from one dwg file to another dwg file (in Model_space).
But I now understand that some blocks contained references to themselves (eg PC+TEL+TV) and that this is the source of the problem.
I don't understand how this happened because originally these blocks were not a problem.
Maybe bad handling?
By doing "Exploding blocks" for these blocks and renaming them, I think my problem is solved.
thank you for helping me
