🔹 How to Use
Create your figure: Draw the objects you want to include in the block.
- Activate the command: Select Create Block or press Ctrl+B.
- Name the block: Enter a descriptive name for your block.
- Set base point: Define the insertion point for when the block is later inserted.
- Select objects: Use the Objects button to select the figure components.

🧠Tips
- Descriptive names: Use clear, descriptive block names for easy identification.
- Strategic base point: Choose the base point carefully as it determines insertion behavior.
- Drawing-specific: Blocks are saved within the current drawing or template.
