Or you can close out of the block drawing. To go back to your original drawing, you may have to select the menu item “Drawings”, and switch back to your original drawing. If you make changes you don’t want to keep, be sure to undo them instead of closing the file. You do not need to save the block, changes are made instantly. This block isn’t a saved file, so alterations to this won’t affect the original file you imported.

Editing BlocksĮditing blocks gives you the benefit of making altercations to a block without having to alter the original drawing, plus if you have the same block inserted multiple times, lets you make a change once but have it applied throughout the drawing. All blocks of that type will be removed from the drawing. Navigate to the “Block List”, right click on the block you no longer want, and click on “Remove block”. The other method is to use the “Block List” to remove the block, which will remove the blocks of that type from the drawing. This still keeps the block in the “Block List” so you can insert it at a later time. You can simply delete the block from inside the drawing as you would with any line, circle, rectangle, or other shape. There are two ways to delete a block though, depending on if you want to reuse the block in the drawing at a later time. Using the command line or your cursor, place the block into the drawing.ĭeleting blocks couldn’t be easier.Select the option “Insert Block” from the context menu.Right click on the block you want to insert again.This gives you the unique ability to edit the block and have your changes be applied to all duplicate blocks of that type. Once you insert a block using one of the above two methods, you can then reinsert the same block.
Once the block is inserted, it should appear in the drawing and as a new block inside the “Block List” panel.
There are three different ways to insert a block into a LibreCAD drawing. You don’t need to place the drawing anywhere specific, but organizing your blocks into folders makes it easier to find them in the future, and you can even set LibreCAD to show those folders in the “Library Browser”. Once your drawing is complete, save the drawing as a DXF or DWG. It’s not uncommon to create blocks while working on a larger drawing to improve organization and have those components for the future.
To create a block, draw a component you want used in future drawings. The inserted drawing will act as a single object instead of being exploded into it’s line segments. A block is simply an existing drawing inserted into a new drawing. Any saved drawing can be used as a block. Without even knowing it, you have created blocks before. Anything can be turned into a block, but a frequent use is in floor plans, where toilets, sinks, ovens, and other common household items are blocks to be inserted in place. When you insert a block into a drawing, you can move it as a single item, edit it, and delete it easily without it disturbing other parts of your drawing. This allows you to reuse complicated or frequently used components in multiple drawings or multiple times in the same drawing. A block is most simply described as a drawing inside of another drawing. Blocks are a very useful aspect of all CAD drawings.
