XREF - INSERT AND EXPLODE

Hey all,
I sometimes encounter inserting xrefs and trying to either: A)INSERT or B) BIND. Sometimes when I do either operation, I won't be able to explode the block AFTER I've inserted, but sometimes I can. Is there a setting I'm not aware of? When it happens, I'll just grab the xref and cut and paste, but it seems like I shouldn't have to do that.

Thanks for any help,

    I used to have that problem often, but when it happens now it's almost if not always because the xref is on a locked layer.

    Blocks may also be set as "not Explodable".
    Look in the "Blocks" tab of the Drawing Explorer and find the block name you're trying to explode.
    Make sure that the " Explodable" box is ticked.

    When using the -insert command to run the command through the command line, is there a wayy to explode the block on insertion?

    Enter an asteriks in front of blockname resp. filename ...
    no space between asteriks and the name.
