A block that uses different drawing units than the units specified for the drawing is automatically scaled by a factor equivalent to the ratio between the two units.

Although a block is always inserted on the current layer, the block reference preserves information about the original layer, color, and linetype properties of the objects that are contained in the block.

The layer on which you create the drawing objects and certain property settings affect whether objects in an inserted block retain their original properties or inherit properties from the current layer, color, linetype, or lineweight settings.

When you create a block, its definition is automatically saved in the block table and is available for referencing.

You specify whether the original geometry remains, is converted to a block, or is removed from the drawing area.

When you insert one drawing file into another drawing, the information from the inserted drawing is saved as a block definition in the block table of the destination drawing.

A block library is a drawing that typically contains block definitions of symbols with similar functions, which are stored together for easy accessibility and management.

You can insert block definitions from a block library into your current drawing file.

Drag and drop, or double-click a block to insert it into the current drawing.

Use the Properties palette to change block properties or EXPLODE as needed.
