This is all well and good, but who want's to memorize all of that. Or better yet, just draft it the right way the first time. I don't know much about CAD but it seems like there should be a simpler way of doing this than to type that much information in. Command-V seems to be a good idea, just past something else in. That's what every other program in the world does.
this seems like it would be a great way to add detail to a drawing later.
IE - you have a drawing w/ an "x" for every place you want a bolt but don't know what type your using yet. You could replace it later w/ this command instead of x-ref or z-ref it a bunch of times and you wouldn't need to change the name of your block in block editor.
i could see this being used for instance if a light plot needed to have all S4s changed to Lekolights or something, or is a theatre changed its logo, you could update the reference to the new logo file
Yeah, i like your use of it serrano. I kind of did this a lot over the summer, but more often I wanted to have a block that I would change in one drawing, and all instances of that block in the other drawings would change accordingly. I'm not sure if thats possible, or if I just had the blocks set up wrong, but it really became a problem to have to go back and update 15 documents to include say a slightly modified title block.
