Note: To finish the Block editing session, use the CBClose command.Flatter Files now supports DWG processing using DraftSight. The origin of the coordinate system is in the Block insertion point. The Block geometry appears in the Block Editor. Additionally, the preview image displays the CB abbreviation for the selected CustomBlock.

An orange dot in the right-bottom corner of the icon identifies CustomBlocks. Note: You can select simple Blocks or CustomBlocks. From the list in the Edit Block dialog box, select the name of a Block.In the graphics area, click a Block reference.Add elements and activities to the Block definitions to create CustomBlocks.Modify the properties of any entity from the graphics area using the Properties palette.You can add, delete, and modify the Block entities.

If you move the Block geometry relative to the origin of the CCS in the Block Editor, the base point changes in the Block references. You can use the base point to move the Block reference. The origin of the CCS defines the Block base point. Saves a CustomBlock as a separate drawing.
