BLOCK
Insert INSERT Inserts a block or drawing into the current
drawing.

The Insert dialog box is displayed.

If you enter -INSERT at the Command
prompt, options are displayed.
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.
You can insert your own blocks or use the
blocks provided in the DesignCenter or tool
palettes.
Edit  EATTEDIT  Edits attributes in a block reference.
Attribute  -ATTEDIT Edits the values, text options, and
 Single properties of each attribute in a block.
 Multiple  At the Command prompt, changes
attribute information in a block.
Retain ATTDISP Controls the visibility overrides for all block
Attribute attributes in a drawing.
