Making Blocks
In the June 2007 newsletter we learned about the Utility of Blocks. This time we shall discuss the creation of a block. Blocks are of two types:
- Local: - We can use it only in the parent file (in which it has been created).
- Global: - We can use it in any file. It is also known as WBlock.
Please download the zip file. In the drawing Primary.dwg there is three are 3 views -- Plan, Elevation and Isometric view. We will make Plan as a local block and the Isometric view as Wblock.
To make a local block, from 'Tools' dropdown list click on 'Create Block'. Write 'Plan' as name of the block. Now choose an insertion point for the block (Any point of the Plan view, Say left lower corner). Select the full plan view as 'Select entities for block'. Now we will find that the plan view disappears from the screen, and it is converted into a block.
To make a Wblock, from 'Tools' dropdown list, click on 'Save Block to Disk'. In 'Save Block' window type 'Isometric' as the file name. Set the path as 'C: \Block' and click on save.
