When editing a 2D elevation block and running the rack builder again the rack builder uses the old block.

So i fixed this myself to first purge and the manually delete the deleted block with a script. Took me a day and was very frustrating.

Also a new drawing solved the problem but i already released my drawings so i like to keep them.

Sorry for the frustration but this is a limitation of blocks in the DWG file. If they are added once they are not re-defined immediately when re-adding unless purged or the drawing is saved then re-opened (note that the re-define flag must be set or the new version will be ignored).

Sorry for the hassle.

Ok I see, Now i purge and re-open the drawing. This is working, thanks for the tip! Good to know is that this will be a one-time thing.

If you purge you should not have to re-open. If you redefine you will have to re-open.
