Hi,

Double click the block entity to edit the block itself ...
... what should be the purpose to edit a block in situ?

Regards,
CVH

This was also on top of my feature request list. Luckily it got implemented now. :) https://www.qcad.org/bugtracker/index.p ... sk_id=1218
I think your feedback reminded Andrew this request from 2015 was still there. :P

It was more the suggested workaround that gave me the right idea on how this could be implemented relatively easily (explode and re-block). I have to admit that this can be quite useful in many situations.

Just downloaded the latest snapshot to check this out. Very awesome! I can imagine this being very helpful when making changes to a block relative to nearby geometry. Thanks!
