Nested blocks, back to previous block

[massimo]

Hi,

I have many nested blocks. I can enter to edit those blocks by double clicking a block, then double clicking the next block inside. How could I exit and go back to the previous block? "em" just always goes back to the main drawing.

I'm not sure if it's a good design to have nested blocks. But in very large projects it's useful. For the said issue I tend to move nested blocks to the main drawing in order to have only 1 level of block-trees.

There is indeed no stepping back.
What you do in the Model_space block is simply: Edit Block (BE).
The same is true inside any other block.
Perhaps you could enter a feature request.

'EM' is just the shortcut for "Return to Main Drawing" aka Model_Space.

Nested blocks are a common practice.
In CAD one uses Blocks for grouping things together.
I do agree that nesting blocks in several levels can become confusing regarding properties.

But say one has 10 flanges with each 8 bolts.
One would define a flange and a bolt and nest those as a 2 flanges with bolts.
Resulting in 10 block references to a bolted flange setup.
Using single level blocks one would have 100 unrelated block references.
