I have a problem with a script that I am writing that batch imports many 3dm files and orients them. I am using “rs.Command(‘_-Insert File=Yes LinkMode=Embed ‘+file+’ Block _Enter 0,0,0 1.0 0.0’).” However, the script is interrupted by a block name conflict. Is there any way to bypass this prompt using the code? I want to use the “model block” option.

Hi @dks5254, Can you provide me a couple models and a sample script that repeats the problem? Thanks, – Dale

^Yeah I would love to know if that was ever resolved since it appears to be the exact same issue I am having. I will try to make a sample in the meantime.

It is, and we are still running into this problem every day. Just came into office seeing a command not run overnight because it prompted that window at the fourth element is kind of frustrating as it does not seem that hard to provide a solution.

Hi @dks5254, @rgr, I believe this issue is fixable, given a sample that I can use to repeat. Just want to make sure we’re fixing the right thing… – Dale

@dale I have no doubts you can fix that. Unfortunatly I can not send you any of the files I’m working on currently. In the meantime, it would really help if you could somehow make the dialog options accessible to control from a plug-in or the like. This way we could just override it until there is a fix.

Instead of the below prompt, it would be great in there is an enum in rhinocommon, which lets us choose what to do when the methods InstanceDefinitionTable.DestroySourceArchive() or InstanceDefinitionTable.ModifySourceArchive() is used [grafik]

I am running into the same problem

I’m still waiting for someone to help me repeat this… – Dale

Hi @dale, I have attached 2 videos of the behaviour, and also the relevant files in which this occurs. There are 3 linked and embedded blocks in the Main_File.3dm, which are BLock_2, Block_A and Block_B. I had updated Block_A.3dm and then also updated the BLock_2.3dm afterwards. But when I open Main_File.3dm, the prompt shows up no matter in what order I update the blocks. And if at all there are 3000 different blocks just like BLock_2 in the file(which all have Block_A inside them), the prompt will show up 3000 times !! Test.rar (258.4 KB)
