If you enter = after the block name, the following prompt is displayed:
Block "current" already exists. Redefine it? [Yes/No] <No>: Enter y, enter n,
or press Enter
If you choose to redefine the block, the existing block definition is replaced
with the new block definition. The drawing is regenerated, and the new
definition is applied to all existing insertions of the block definition. Press
Esc when prompted for the insertion point if you do not want to insert a
new block into the drawing.
?List Block Names
Lists the blocks currently defined in the drawing.
Insertion Point
Specifies a location for the block or drawing.
Scale Factor All X and Y dimensions of the block or drawing are multiplied
by the X and Y scale factors. The block or drawing is rotated by the specified
angle, using the insertion point as the center of rotation.
Corner Defines the X and Y scale factors at the same time, using the insertion
point and another point as the corners of a box. The X and Y dimensions of
the box become the X and Y scale factors. The insertion point is the first corner.
XYZ Sets X, Y, and Z scale factors.
X Scale Factor: Defines X, Y, and Z scale factors for the block or drawing.
Corner: Defines the X and Y scales at the same time, using the insertion
point and another point as the corners of a box, and then defines the Z
scale.
Basepoint
Temporarily drops the block in the drawing where it is currently positioned
and allows you to specify a new base point for the block reference as it is
dragged into position. This does not affect the actual base point defined for
the block reference.
Scale
Sets the scale factor for the X, Y, and Z axes. The scale for the Z axis is the
absolute value of the specified scale factor.
X
Sets the X scale factor.
Y
Sets the Y scale factor.
