Hello,
Sometimes I receive plans with image repeated’s blocks at different scales.
(example: floor plan with doors)
These are probably drawings with dynamic blocks (not supported by Qcad).
Is there a way to obtain a clearer drawing?
Thank you in advance.
QCAD Professional, Version:3.27.1.0 (3.27.1)
repeated’s blocks at different scales.

Re: repeated’s blocks at different scales.
Hi,
With an example drawing file we could help you more efficiently. (Forum rules)
Dynamic blocks are not really supported as far as I know.
If those multi images are separate Block References then the drawing is as is.
Otherwise the Block may itself have those multi images, still is as is.
I another case we have to investigate an example drawing.
Other applications may have custom methods.

Re: repeated’s blocks at different scales.
Hi! QCAD doesn’t support dynamic blocks, so repeated blocks at different scales can appear messy or inconsistent. To get a clearer drawing, you can try the following:
Use the Explode command to convert blocks into regular entities.
Manually clean up or redraw any overlapping or unclear parts after exploding.
Alternatively, ask the sender to provide the file with blocks already exploded or in a simplified format.
This approach should make the drawing much easier to manage in QCAD. And if you're handling drawings across different regions or need location-based file sorting, a tool like this postal code database can assist in organizing projects geographically.
