dcl_BlockView_DisplayBlock does not display uninserted block

[roy_043]

System:
Bricscad 11.4.6
Windows XP
OpenDCL 6.0.2.5

Code (autolisp) Select Expand

(dcl_BlockView_DisplayBlock DwgBrowser_Form1_BlockView1 "Square" 0 0.95)
This code will not display the block "Square" if it there is no insert of this block (it will return T though). Is this by design?

Hello,

I cannot reproduce this for AutoCAD because I often use BlockView for previews and they will never be inserted.
So I assume this behaviour depends on BricsCAD.

Fred

Thank you Fred. I'll send a support request to the Bricscad team.

Hi, roy_043, since it may depend on the path OpenDCL on BricsCAD, I'd recommend that Owen would have a look at it at first before you post it at BricsCAD support. Owen does better know what happens in BlockView control.

Regards, Fred

If Owen, or anybody else, wants to test this:
Attached is a zip with test files. The test is described inside the lsp.

This does appear to be a bug in Bricscad, still there in V12. Please go ahead and report it. I know they are doing some work on the AcGs problems, so it's possible this is already fixed in their internal build, but documenting a simple test case will be helpful for regression testing even if the problem is already fixed.
