Insert block error

[srinivasan]

Hello all

When i try to insert any block i am getting an error
"!dbinsert.cpp@581:eHadmultipleReaders" and autocad closes.

This happens only when i insert the block for the second time
and is working perfect for the first time.

Thanks in advance.

Quick suggestion...Show you code so people
don't have to guess at what your doing.. You'll
get a quicker answer that way...

The first time you insert the dwg file it, probably
*does not* exist as a block definition in
ThisDrawing... Once you've inserted the block
from another dwg file it now is a Block Reference
and a Block Definition in ThisDrawing...

If you try to go get in from the other source and
it lives in ThisDrawing as a block with the same
name as the dwg your source dwg....Bad...

I will guess and say handling this will
solve your problem. Check to see if
it already lives in ThisDrawing..If so
grab it there or delete it and all References
to it first...Then insert the dwg...

This happens only when i insert a dwg file from some other locations.

There shouldn't be a problem with inserting a drawing with an existing block definition of the drawing. All our blocks are inserted with a VBA routine that inserts the block from the drawing regardless if a definition already exists.

Thanks all for you suggestions.

Actually i am purging my drawing before insrting the
block, so as paul said there is no chance of the block
definition inside the drawing as Nathan said there is no problem even if the block exists in the drawing.Only when i delete the existing block from the dwg and try to insert the dwg i am finding this error.
