Objects creation and modification	Creating and using blocks
Inserting blocks
Concepts     Procedure     Commands

When a block is inserted, a block reference is created and its location, scale and rotation is specified by the user.

It is possible to specify the scale of a block reference using different X and Y values. Inserting a block creates an object called a block reference because it referees to a block definition stored in the current drawing.

If you insert a block that uses different drawing units than the units specified for the drawing, the block is automatically scaled by a factor equivalent to the ratio between the two units.

Inserting blocks from Parts libraries

It is possible to insert one or more block definitions from an existing drawing file into your current drawing file, using the menu Insert  Block from a Part Library, or using the command INSERT_PART

Inserting blocks from other drawings  

It is possible to insert one or more block definitions using the menu Insert  Blocks manager or using the command BLOCKS
