Blocks

Blocks are compound objects that are combined to create a single object. Blocks are useful when you want to insert multiple instances of the same object, and are especially useful because you can modify the characteristics of many block references at once, simply by modifying the block definition.

Note: Blocks cannot be created in the AutoCAD mobile app. Use the AutoCAD web app or AutoCAD desktop app to create blocks.
