block update and name

Post by jim78b » Thu Oct 24, 2019 7:36 am

Win7 64, qcad last release

Hello
if I already have a block and I want to add elements from the outside, I have to explode the block and recreate it, isn't there a faster system?

If you select the block how can I know your name?

isn't there a way like autocad to edit the blocks in place, seeing what's around us?

For example: copy the entities, edit the block, paste the entities.

In the property editor (View > Property Editor).
