If
you need to modify one or more objects within a block separately,
you can disassemble, or explode, the block reference into its component
objects. After making the changes, you can
- Create a new block definition
- Redefine the existing block definition
- Leave the component objects uncombined
for other uses
When you explode a block reference, the block
reference is disassembled into its component objects; however, the
block definition still exists in the drawing for insertion later.
You can automatically explode block references
as you insert them by selecting the Explode option in the Insert
dialog box.
To control properties while
you explode an object
- Enter xplode.
- Select the objects to be exploded.
- If you selected more than one object,
enter i to control properties for individual
objects, or enter g to control properties for all
the selected objects.
- Enter an option for a property you want
to change.
The property is applied
to the compound object and the prompt is redisplayed.
- Enter another option, or enter e to
explode the selected objects.
The selected objects are exploded and the properties
you specified are applied to the component objects.
