Working with lots of linked blocks

hi Pascal,
Yes, that’s exactly the scenario I was reporting
Also, the reference blocks checkbox does nothing if you insert the file as Individual Objects or Group (in the next dialog), only works if the inserted file is a block. That also doesn’t make sense to me… More coffee??

But all these are just a side note discoveries.
What’s really needed is opening a file without linked blocks (plus the cosmetics of progress bar + redraw off)

thanks,
