Pasting Entities As Block from the Clipboard
Use the PasteAsBlock command to paste entities from the clipboard to the drawing as Block. A Block binds entities together to form a single entity. You can insert a Block whenever you need it in a drawing.
Copy entities from a drawing to the clipboard with the Cut, ClipboardCopy, or Copy@ commands, then paste copies of the entities into other open drawings.
To paste entities from the clipboard as Block:
- Click Edit > Paste as Block (or type PasteAsBlock).
- The clipboard contents are attached to the pointer.
- Type coordinates or click an insertion point for the clipboard contents.
- Specify the X and Y scale for the Block insertion.
- Specify the insertion angle.
- The entities are inserted as Block.
The Block created using the PasteAsBlock command is named arbitrarily. To rename the Block inserted from the clipboard, use the Rename command.
