Block > Create Anonymously (Library Menu)

This command can be used to create a new anonymous block, i.e. an internal block with an automatically generated name starting with "#AutoBlock\".

The objects and instances which are to make up the new block are chosen. Click on objects to choose them.

After selecting the objects which are to make up the block, an anonymous block will be created immediately, replacing the selected objects.

Blocks may themselves contain instances of other blocks and groups, i.e. nested instances are possible. This makes it possible, for example, to create components made up of components from several blocks from different libraries. There are however two restrictions, which should help avoid problems.:
•        Internal blocks cannot be used in external blocks! This would make the block, and the whole library dependent on the drawing which contains the internal block.
•        The maximum number of levels which can be nested is 20. Deeper nesting is possible, but will not be displayed. If a circular reference is accidentally created (block X contains an instance of Y, block Y contains an instance of X), this is the same as an unending nesting and the blocks will not be displayed.
