To Insert a Block Defined in the Current Drawing

From the Blocks Palette

1. Click Window menu > Blocks.
2. Select to display the blocks in the current drawing.
3. Set the insertion point, scale, and rotation options. When checked, you specify the option when inserting the block, using either your pointing device or manually entering a value.
4. Set the Repeat Placement option. When checked, you will be prompted automatically for additional insertion points until you press Esc to cancel the command. When cleared, the block you specified is inserted once.
5. Set the Explode option. When checked, the component objects in the block are inserted as individual objects and revert to their original properties.
   Note: As an indication that the block will be exploded on insertion, the preview of the block at the cursor is automatically suppressed.
6. From the palette, double-click the drawing file.
7. Move the mouse to the location you want to place the drawing and click.
