Block
Blocks, groups and worksessions are methods for organizing model elements.
Blocks are named groups of objects that act as a single object in your model. Blocks are useful for repeated objects such as symbols or components. Blocks save you time since you can reuse the components instead of re-drawing them each time. An advantage of using blocks for repeated content is that using blocks requires less memory. In addition, you can redefine a block and all of the instances placed in the model will update.
