Summary

Using blocks can dramatically increase your productivity when working with repetitive instances of symbols in a drawing. Couple this with the use of attributes, and you also have a way to easily document the specifics of the drawing. After the information is extracted, it can be exported into a number of external software packages, modified, and imported back into the drawing using OLE.
