Converting Shapes into Blocks¶
Shape files allow storing and sharing geographic information, such as points, lines, and polygons.
To make the content of the shape files available in a drawing, convert shapes into blocks.
The ConvertShape command converts shapes into blocks.
To convert shapes into Blocks:
Type ConvertShape at the command prompt.
In the graphics area, specify the shape to convert.
Type the name of the Block and press Enter.
A Block with the specified name is created. The Block contains the same entities as the original shape.
