Block using other block refrences as components?

[bambuko]

as per title, (or "can I insert block into a block")

any reason why I shouldn't do it?
I must admit to experiencing some confusing behaviours when doing it...

Hi,
Stacked Block References should be OK.
The Attributes like Color, Lineweight, Linetype, visibility are inherited from parents depending several settings and some Preferences.
Your attributes can be By Layer, By Block or custom specified.
Application Layer compatibility has an influence on Block entities on Layer 0.

The only thing to avoid in QCAD are so called 'Massive Blocks' as they tend to reduce rendering speed.

the problem I had was with layers not behaving the way I expected...
probably just me (as usual )
