"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, they've fixed it so block insert is broken now : (

I have hundreds of project specific blocks in a drawing and can only see 20 odd. Now to figure out how to find them (more non chargeable time)
One reason people don't upgrade, is every year Autodesk hides your stuff or swaps it round, seemingly to justify the expense and it takes weeks to find it or work round it.
Autodesk wraps tinsel around each new release and fails to realise veteran CAD users are interested in familiarity and productivity not novelty.

Very slow to load blocks palette, used to hit 'I' command and was quick to show block library, now slow, how do I go back to the old block library command.

Is this available on the lt 2018 version?

This is terrible. I should be able to at least load a folder where I already have all my blocks ready to use.

Down-voted for not addressing why Insertion Options revert to default when restarting AutoCAD. Changed settings should be consistent when starting a new session.
