Blocks, attributes, and external references provide mechanisms for managing entities in your drawings and for including additional information with the standard drawing entities.
Blocks allow you to combine numerous entities into a single entity and reuse it, inserting multiple copies. A block definition is only saved once in a drawing. If a block definition is redefined, all instances of the block will be updated automatically. Block definitions can be copied between drawings.
With attributes, you can associate text, such as part numbers or prices, with blocks and then extract the text-attribute information to a separate file, such as a database, for further analysis.
With external references, you can link separate reference drawing files to the current drawing to combine information without adding the contents of the reference drawings to a drawing. If you make changes to the referenced file, all references are updated automatically.
