Help [here for AutoCAD 2017, but this topic won't be much different in other versions] will tell you about Blocks.

I'm not familiar with the software you mentioned in your post; however, the context in which I use blocks - they are objects that you can manipulate and add to a drawing with and with out attributes.  I have a library of blocks drawn in individual sheets and I extract those and drop them into new drawings as opposed to drawing something from scratch every time.  An example would be compasses and symbols.]]> Wed, 12 Apr 2017 19:40:25 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12287&PID=34569&title=dwg-blocks#34569 <![CDATA[DWG Blocks : I am new on this forum and new...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12287&PID=34568&title=dwg-blocks#34568 Author: AndrzejBor
