Now you'll notice, we've got a drawing open there, 4_WBLOCK.dwg, so you can follow along if you want to, working through the drawing as well. And that's how the command is written, WBLOCK, like that, because you're writing the block to its own separate DWG file. Now you'll notice in the model space here, we've got a little object there on the Objects layer, it's a little workstation. And what we're going to do, we're going to array that workstation out. Now, it is an AutoCAD block already and I'm going to array it so there's multiple blocks in the drawing. I'm then, going to WBLOCK it out, make a change to the DWG that the WBLOCK creates, and then bring the WBLOCK into the drawing. Now it sounds a lot more complicated than it…
