Block Auto Wblock

This tool can assist you in rapidly generating reusable blocks on disk from component geometry in a drawing. It eliminates many of the repetitive steps involved in specifying drive/paths, filenames, etc.

Keyboard Command: BlkAutWbl

Procedure:

1. Initiate this command from the menu, ribbon, or command above.
2. Use the directory select dialog to specify the desired destination drive/path where the wblocked drawings will be created.
3. Answer Y to the Text as block name if you have text objects to be included with the geometry that is also appropriate for the file name.
4. When prompted to Retain selected geometry, answer Y if you want the geometry to be left intact after the wblock operation is complete
5. Specify whether the routine should overwrite files if they exist.
6. Select the objects to wblock with any AutoCAD selection method.
7. Specify the insertion base point for this selection of geometry.

Note: If you answer Y to use text as file name and one piece of text is included in the selection set, it will be used. If more than one is selected, a dialog will appear to choose from.
