  • Inserting blocks into a Promis*e drawing from plain AutoCAD

    MagEngineerAaron
    I'm wondering if I open a .dwg that was created via Promis*e V8i in plain AutoCAD or AutoCADe, and insert a block, will this corrupt the Promis*e database or project? The block would be very basic and have no Promis*e-smart entities or layers.
