BSAVEAS — Save Block As

Saves the edits as a new block and leaves the original unchanged.

• Command: BSAVEAS · Global name: _BSAVEAS

Saves what was edited in the Block Editor as a new block, with another name and the same base point. The original block stays as it was before editing.

Usage

1. In the Block Editor (BEDIT), enter BSAVEAS or click the button.
2. Enter the name of the new block; it must not already exist in the drawing.

Enter new block name:

The editor stays open, now with the new block.

Notes

• The editor's undo history starts again with the new block.
• The copy of a dynamic block is a regular block: it does not carry its parameters or actions.
• The name follows the same rules as in BLOCK.
• Outside the Block Editor, the command only shows a message.
