When you insert a block, you determine its location (or its name if it exists in the drawing), scale factor, and rotation angle.Inserting a block creates an object called a block reference because it references a block definition stored in your current drawing. Notice that in order to insert a block , this must be an existing block that previously has been created or that it will exist as an independent drawing.
