Find Nested Blocks In Autocad
- My guess is that the OP wants to keep the geometry of the nested blocks in the parent block. In order to replicate that, you would need to take into take into account the nested block scale factors ( mirrored as well), rotations, UCS, insert points, minsert values. And then if the blocks are nested 3 or 4 deep, wow! Maybe I'm missing something.

Hi, for future reference if you have blocks you can't find you might try drawing and object I do circles on a specific layer redefine the block then see if i can find the block and/or select it.
- By defining block libraries, it means you don’t have to redraw your common objects and annotations. It will make your drawing consistent. The elevation symbol in one drawing will not be different in your other drawings. The title block is consistent between all AutoCAD users, because they use standard title block. Not creating their own.

List of blocks (incl. Nested blocks) used in a DWG drawing. With the freeware utility CADstudio NBlockList you can generate a report of all or all selected blocks used (inserted, referenced) in the current AutoCAD DWG file. This list contains also names of any nested blocks (block in a block) of any nesting depth.
You cannot purge blocks that are in use from a drawing. If you are unable to purge a block from a drawing, and you are unable to locate the block, it might be encapsulated or nested inside another block.- Use Quick Select to first try and locate instances of the block within the drawing. Check both the Model tab and within paper space on any/all layouts.
- Many blocks can be purged by first saving the DWG as a DXF, then opening the DXF, and then SAVEAS back to DWG.
- Go through PURGE and -PURGE, which will rid the drawing of any blocks with no instances in the drawing.
- Next, insert and explode the block that contains the block to be purged.
- Explode all sub-blocks.
- Once all sub-blocks have been exploded, use the WBLOCK command to redefine the new geometry.
- After you have redefined the geometry, use the PURGE command to purge any unused blocks in the drawing.

This time, I'm going to draw a line just horizontally…through the workstation, like that, taking it…across the desk like that.…And so it goes through the workstation block,…goes through our computer nested block,…in the workstation block.…I then come back to the express tools tab on the ribbon.…Notice I need to re-expand the fly out menu…and click on the pen.…It always does that when you go to a different tab…on the ribbon.…Just be aware of that.…So we trim two nested objects this time.…
