How insert block from another dwg file?

[davi-blsoftwares]

I would like insert blocks from another dwg files.
In AutoCAD i use this method:

///

/// Carrega bloco no dwg
///

/// Caminho completo do bloco
/// Nome do bloco
/// Retorna o ObjectId da definição do bloco
/// Retorna true se o bloco foi carregado senão false
public static bool loadBlock(string blockFileName, string blockName, ref ObjectId blockId)
{
blockName = blockName.Trim();
try
{
Database curDb = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;
Database blockDb = new Database(false, true);

#if ZWCAD
var modo = FileShare.Read;
#else
var modo = FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare;
#endif

            blockDb.ReadDwgFile(blockFileName, modo, true, "");
            blockId = curDb.Insert(blockName, blockDb, true);

            return true;
        }
        catch (System.Exception e)
        {
            erros.AppendLine(e.Message);
            return false;
        }
        // }
    }

How make this in AcadSharp?

Hi @davi-blsoftwares

To import a block record from another document you can use this code as an example:

	//Read the document
	CadDocument doc;
	using (DwgReader reader = new DwgReader(_file))
	{
		doc = reader.Read();
	}

	//Create a new document or read another one
	CadDocument transfer = new CadDocument();
	//Create a clone of the block that you want to import to the new document
	BlockRecord block = (BlockRecord)doc.BlockRecords["MyBlock"].Clone();
	transfer.BlockRecords.Add(block);

	//Save the changes
	using (DwgWriter writer = new DwgWriter(outPath, transfer))
	{
		writer.Write();
	}

While using this code I've noticed an error in the clone method, I've open a branch to fix it.

If you are using the Nuget Package please let me know and I'll make a release once is fixed.

Hope this helps!
