Specifies the objects to include in the new block and whether to retain or
delete the selected objects or convert them to a block instance after you create
the block.
Settings

Open in Block Editor
Opens the current block definition in the “Block Editor” on page 139 when
you click OK.
BLOCK Command Line
If you enter -block at the Command prompt, BLOCK displays prompts on
the command line.
Enter Block Name or [?—List Previously Defined Blocks]: Enter a name or ?
Block Name
Names the block. The name can have up to 255 characters and can include
letters, numbers, blank spaces, and any special character not used by Microsoft
Windows and the program for other purposes if the system variable EXTNAMES
is set to 1.
If you enter the name of an existing block, you are prompted as follows:
Block "NAME" already exists. Redefine it? [Yes/No] <N>: Enter y or n , or press
ENTER
By redefining a block, you automatically update all references to that block.
Attributes attached to existing block references remain unchanged in the
drawing. However, new insertions of the block do not prompt for attributes
unless the attribute definitions are included in the new block definition (use
ATTREDEF to redefine blocks that contain attributes).
Specify insertion base point: Specify a point (1)
