Time and time again I’m receiving this autocad error whenever I want to use the "edit block in place" also known as "refedit".
I really don’t know the root cause of this problem but I suspect, this pesky error will occur if someone put extended data in your drawing object and by pure luckyour drawing got corrupted!
Well, we can still edit the drawing using the block editor, but moving the lines or drawing object in the proper place will be quite daunting for us specially if we preparing coordination drawings.
Anyways, for those who are trying to crack this problem so they can use the refedit functionality for drawings/block affected by this error, here is what I did to solve this headache:
Step 1. Select all the text and hide it. For Autocad MEP users, the simplest way to select hide all text is to use the "select similar" command or press CTRL+SHIFT+A , right click then click isolate object.
Step 2. Now that all the texts are hidden, select the remaining all the remaining objects in drawings (circle, lines, polylines, arrows etc) then run the command "flatten". If asked to Remove Hidden Lines? press "N"
Flatten is a command to convert 3D solids to flattened 2D view.
Step 3. After the flatten command is finished, just recreate the block, put it in your coordination drawing and thats it!
Amazingly the flatten command works like a charm to clean our drawing block infested by Application reference missing: ACAD, to AcDbLinetypeTableRecord error.
Enjoy using your "edit block in place" command.
