Dynamic blocks in pre-2006 versions
If you wonder how new dynamic blocks behave in older AutoCAD versions - it is so:
In older versions (2005, 2004...) these 'new style' blocks are represented as unnamed (anonymous) blocks. They will survive 'round-tripping' so they re-appear as dynamic blocks once you read the DWG file back in AutoCAD 2006. Be cautious not to REFEDIT or PURGE such anonymous blocks in the older AutoCAD versions as this would break the round-tripping functionality.
