How To: Create a New Block

1. Draw the entities to include. In this example we will create a door block.

2. Select the entities and click Tools>Inserts>Create Block.

3. You will be prompted for a name for the new block.

       Enter the new name for the block in the Enter Block Name field. Click <OK>.

4. You will be prompted to select the Basepoint. This is the point from which you will insert this block in the future.

Please Note: At this point the block will be removed from the drawing space. It will disappear from the drawing. If you need it in the drawing you will need to insert it.
