How to Edit Main Block Instead of Sub-Block in ZWCAD Nested Blocks

Content

Issue

When double-clicking a nested block, the Block Editor dialog opens with the sub-block selected by default, leading directly into sub-block editing. How to configure it to edit the main block instead?

Issue

Cause

The system variable EDITNESTEDBLOCK determines whether ZWCAD enters the main block or the sub-block when editing a nested block.

Note:

ZWCAD perpetual licenses are not available in the USA and Canada. Please check ZWCAD Flex subscription plans.

Solution

1.  Enter the EDITNESTEDBLOCK command. Set the value to 0 to preselect the outermost block by default, or to 1 to preselect the nested block under the cursor.

Solution

 

2. Alternatively, select the block first, then choose Block Editor or Edit Block In-place from the right-click menu. This method always edits the main block by default.
