It is not recommended to use this command in electrical schemes because it can lead to unpredictable results.

Creates a named block or group of entities from the active file that you can re-insert into the file multiple times.

The named block appears in the block definition tables of only the active file. As a result, you can only use the blocks defined for the current file.

 

Ends the command.

Returns to the previous interface.

 

After selecting the block entities, a dialog box opens, where you can enter the parameters of the block.
