Convert External Blocks (Library Menu)

www.CAD6.com

This command converts external blocks currently used in the drawing to internal blocks. The "Convert External Blocks" dialog appears, in which the external blocks to be converted can be specified and where you also can specify whether the instances of these blocks are to be adapted.

 

If a drawing which makes use of external blocks from libraries is to be given to someone who does not have those libraries, then there can be problems. Instances which refer to those external blocks cannot be created and the drawing is useless.

 

If however the external blocks are converted to internal blocks, the drawing can still be used. The advantages of instances (low memory use and changeability) are retained.

 

The original external blocks are unchanged, new blocks are however created. Conversion of external blocks to internal blocks can not be undone using Undo. The adaptation of the instances can however be undone.
