In the previous progeCAD versions to modify and therefore replace all the occurrences inserted in a block drawing, it was needed to explode it, make the changes, and make it up again with the same name to redefine it.
Now it's possible to modify the block definition directly in the current drawing using the options of local modification.
Using the option of local modification, it's possible to modify it staying in the visual contest of the current drawing.
At the modification time a toolbar is displayed: Refedit. Using the toolbar buttons, it's possible to add or remove objects of the working group and delete or save the modifications made to the reference.
The group of the objects extracted from the block, is displayed as usual, while all the other objects, included the ones of the current drawing, and are displayed with less intensity.
During the local modification of a block it's possible to add or remove objects from the working group. If a new object is created during the local modification of a reference, that object is almost always automatically added to the working group. The objects that are not added to the working group are displayed in the drawing with a reduced intensity.
