Inserting Blocks

To insert a drawing file as a block or update an existing block reference

  1. From the Insert menu, choose Block.
  2. In the Insert dialog box, enter the block name, or choose File to search for a drawing file.
  3. If you want to use the pointing device to specify the insertion point, scale, and rotation, select Specify Parameters on Screen. Otherwise, enter values in the Insertion Point, Scale, and Rotation boxes.
  4. If you want the objects in the block to be inserted as individual objects instead of as a single block, select Explode.
  5. Choose OK.
  6. If you are redefining or updating an existing block, choose Redefine when AutoCAD LT displays the message box that warns you that the block name already exists.

For additional options, use Content Explorer.
