	How to explode a MINSERTed block?
	AutoCAD blocks inserted with `MINSERT` cannot be exploded directly. But you can use a combination (sequence) of the `FLATTEN` and `EXPLODE` commands to explode a "multiple-insert" block reference (Flatten is a Express Tools command). To explode a combination of anonymous and MInserted blocks (e.g. from LockDWG or Deter) you can use the ExplodeM utility - see www.cadstudio.cz/download.
