What Is It

Using the AutoCAD block is the most effective and efficient way in editing your drawing. Let us learn and explore the AutoCAD block.

Blocks are compound objects that are commonly used for symbols, parts, detail views, and title blocks. A block is one or more objects combined to create a single object. The following are some examples of blocks inserted into drawings.

[illustration: examples of blocks inserted into drawings, including a title block with a detail view]

Using blocks provides the following advantages:

1. You can ensure uniformity between identical copies of furniture, fixtures, parts, symbols, and title blocks in drawings.

   
   

2. You can insert, rotate, scale, move, and copy blocks much faster than operating on selections of individual geometric objects.

   
   

3. If you edit or redefine a block definition, all block references in that drawing are updated automatically.

   
   

4. You can include data such as part numbers, costs, service dates, and performance values to blocks. The data is stored in special objects called block attributes.

   
   

5. You can reduce the file size of a drawing by inserting multiple block references instead of duplicating object geometry.

   
   

The AutoCAD block is located at the Home Tab-Block group ribbon.

[illustration: AutoCAD Home tab ribbon with the Block group highlighted (Insert, Create, Edit, Edit Attributes)]

You can also find the block in Insert tab-Block and Block Definition.

[illustration: Insert tab ribbon showing the Block panel (Insert, Edit Attribute) and the Block Definition panel (Create Block, Define Attributes, Manage Attributes, Block Editor)]

You can create blocks by associating objects and giving them a name or by creating a drawing to be used as a block.

Block Definitions

Whenever you create a block or insert a drawing as a block, all of the block information in the block definition, which includes its geometry, layers, colors, line types, and block attribute objects, is stored within the drawing file as non-graphic information. Every block you insert is a block reference to a block definition. Block references are often simply called blocks.

A. Steps in defining a Block for the Current Drawing

1. Click Insert Tab-Block Definition Panel-Create Block.

[illustration: Insert tab Block Definition panel with Create Block highlighted]

2. In the Block Definition dialog box, enter a block name in the Name box. Example Dining Table.

   
   

3. Under Objects, select Convert to Block.

   
   

Note: If delete is selected, the original objects are erased from the drawing when the block is created. If necessary, you can use OOPS to restore them.

[illustration: Block Definition dialog box with Name “Dining Table” and Objects set to Convert to block]

4. Under Base Point and Objects, make sure Specify On-screen is not selected.

[illustration: Block Definition dialog box with Specify On-screen unchecked under Base point and Objects]

5. In the Block Definition dialog box under Base Point, specify the block insertion point using one of these methods.

   • Click Pick Point to specify a point using the pointing device.
   • Enter the X,Y,Z coordinate values of the point.

6. Select objects.

   
   

[illustration: Block Definition dialog box with Pick point and X, Y, Z coordinate values filled in]

7. Use your pointing device to select the objects to be included in the block definition. Press Enter to complete object selection.

   
   

8. In the Description box, enter a description for the block definition.

   
   

[illustration: Block Definition dialog box with Select objects and Description fields]

[illustration: Block Definition dialog box with the Description box containing “A dining table blocks”]

9. Click Ok.
10. The block is defined in the current drawing and can be inserted at any time.

[illustration: Design Center palette showing Recent Blocks, including “dining table”, with a preview of the block]

B. Steps in inserting blocks in a current drawing.

When you insert a block reference, you specify its location, scale, and rotation. Several tools are available for inserting blocks, and which tool you decide to use depends on factors such as how many blocks you typically need in a drawing and whether you use a large variety of source drawings.

Ribbon Gallery

1. In the Ribbon Gallery. Click Insert Tab-Block panel
2. Simply click the insert icon and click and drag the desired block in your current drawing.

[illustration: Block panel of the Insert tab with the Insert icon, and the block gallery showing COMED-01, COMED-02, and dining table]

Design Center

The Design Center window is designed for browsing and selecting a variety of definitions from existing drawings and drawing libraries. These definitions include blocks, layers, line types, and other content. DesignCenter offers a quick, visual way to drag and drop blocks within the current drawing or from another drawing. Double-click the block names to specify the precise location, rotation, and scale of the blocks. You can access the DesignCenter window with the ADCENTER command.

Opening the DesignCenter palette.

To open the DesignCenter palette select one of the following:

• Ribbon> click View tab > Palettes panel > DesignCenter .
• Press CTRL +2
• Press DC in the keyboard.
