    Dim blockObj As AcadBlock
    Set blockObj = ThisDrawing.Blocks.Add(insPt, sBlockName)
    ' Add a line to the block
    Dim myStartPt(0 To 2) As Double: myStartPt(0) = 4: myStartPt(1) = 4
    Dim myEndPt(0 To 2) As Double: myEndPt(0) = 7: myEndPt(1) = 1
    blockObj.AddLine myStartPt, myEndPt
    ' Add a circle to the block
    Dim cenPt(0 To 2) As Double: cenPt(0) = 3: cenPt(1) = 4
    Dim dRadius As Double: dRadius = 1
    blockObj.AddCircle cenPt, dRadius
