Blocks disappear (or their content does) after creating again with the same name. In attached file:

1) Created cirle
2) Select circle, BC, select center, name is 'testblock'
3) Repeat 2) -- circle is now gone

Thanks for your report.

You are creating a recursive block (a block that contains a block reference, referencing the same block).
Recursive blocks cannot be displayed since that would take an infinite amount of time and memory.

I will close this report. If you still have a question about blocks, please post to the forum at:
