The utility CADstudio P2BLK converts (replaces) selected entities of the type POINT, CIRCLE or SHAPE to blocks (INSERT) of the given name.
The choosen block must be defined in the current DWG drawing. You can specify scale of the inserted blocks. Blocks are inserted to the same layer as the original objects. Possible block attributes are left at default values - later you can number the blocks e.g. using the InsertC/BlockC utility.
The P2BLK command inserts blocks to the reference points (centers) of the original entities.
The DELOBJ controls whether the source objects are deleted or not.
