Working with Blocks PropertyManagers

To open one of the Blocks PropertyManagers:

Make or insert blocks, or edit an existing block.

Block Entities

Identifies the sketch entities that belong to the block.

	Make Block	Pre- or post-select one or more sketch entities from the graphics area and create a block.
	Add/Remove Block	Select an existing sketch that includes blocks, and add or remove sketch entities belonging to that block.

Insertion Point

Specifies an insertion point by which to drag a block when you insert that block in a sketch. For example, you can set the insertion point as the midpoint of a sketch entity. Rotating or scaling a block is done around the insertion point.

Blocks to Insert

Inserts blocks into any active sketch. If the sketch includes blocks, they are listed under Open Blocks. You can insert multiple copies of existing blocks into the current sketch, or browse for other existing blocks.

Existing Relations

Displays any relations between the current block and other sketch entities. The other sketch entities do not have to be blocks. Existing Relations does not list relations that may exist between the current block and nested blocks.

Definition

Parameters

You can specify the scale and the angle. Blocks are inserted at the scale and angle at which they were saved.

	Scale	Set a value to resize the block relative to the current sketch.
	Angle	Set a value to change the angle at which the block is inserted.
