- If you enter -INSERT at the Command prompt, command options are displayed in the Command window.

Tip: A good practice is to insert a block from a block library. A block library can be a drawing file that stores related block definitions or it can be a folder that contains related drawing files, each of which can be inserted as a block. With either method, blocks are standardized and accessible to multiple users.
