Hi,

Is there any way of reading AutoCAD dynamic block names/visibility states? Currently all I can seem to get is the anonymous '*U___' value in the 'autocad_block_name' field.

I feel like there should be a way of reading the real block name somewhere, as it picks up the correct block names in the reader parameters under 'Explode Selected Blocks'.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Just voted on it.

 

 

Would love to see this as a feature in the future. So many of the models I come across now use dynamic blocks.
