WBLOCK both model and layouts at the same time.

If you need to WBLOCK your drawing (e.g. for purge purposes) with both modelspace and paperspace entities (objects) at the same time, perform the WBLOCK command with "*".

When WBLOCK prompts for the block name, just type * (asterisk, not just Enter). The command writes out a "block" consisting of all referenced entities from both model and paperspace.

Please note that the "All" option selects just the entities from the current space (model or paper).
