Disassemble a Block Reference (Explode)

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

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

You can automatically explode block references as you insert them by selecting the Explode option in the Insert dialog box.
