Is there any way to force the “-Insert” command to keep the “model block” or “file block”, like the normal “Insert” command lets me do, rather than keeping both with a file name increment? If I insert with the dialogue box, I can choose which block to keep. Example: [image] Can I access these opt…

Hello- I’ll test - it may be that you can work around for now by running the command, setting the dialog as you like it - and checking the box for ‘Do this for all block name conficts’ then run the scripted version. -Pascal

Hi Pascal, Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that already and the ‘Do this for all block name conflicts’ option seems to only remember the choice for all conflict on that instance of the Insert command running. It’s not a persistent choice that is remembered or stored between running the Ins…

Yeah, I understand, I think you should be able to do what you’re saying and I see it is broken. I’ll chat with the developers… -Pascal

Hi Wortley, Looks like an oversight and this is the first time it has been reported here. When a file is being inserted “real time” as block and there is block naming conflict, Rhino 6/7 will ask the user to relace the block, or create new one. At the time that work was done in Rhino 6 developmen…

Thanks Pascal and Mary Ann, I appreciate you guys looking into it seriously! I would be thrilled to have the command work as described. Looking forward to it. -JB Wortley

Hi JB - [image] Johandré Wortley: Looking forward to it. This issue was filed as RH-69709 . When it gets resolved, this thread will be notified. -wim

Thank you Wim, If there’s one thing I may request when implementing this: Can we have the command always ask what to do with block conflicts, regardless of whether a conflict is detected or not? This would be great for automation: A series of -Insert commands can then be scripted to run one after…

Hi JB - [image] Johandré Wortley: Can we have the command always ask what to do with block conflicts, regardless of whether a conflict is detected or not? The scripted version of the command will have to provide access to all settings when the command is used. That’s how scripted commands wo…

There aren’t any dialogs when using scripted commands. Sorry, by dialogs, I don’t mean dialog boxes. I mean the prompts. The scripted version of the command will have to provide access to all settings I understand and that makes sense. I was just thinking of having something like this, so tha…

Hi @wim , Do you know of any progress on this by any chance? I’ve had a look at the issue tracking for this on the link you gave and it looks like Dale Fugier has taken over, but the only thing that has been logged since is that the issue type has been switched from Bug to Enhancement and a release …
