Nest Blocks
 
 
 

Block references that contain other blocks are known as nested blocks. Using blocks within blocks can simplify the organization of a complex block definition.

With nested blocks, you can build a single block out of several components. For example, you can insert as a block a drawing of a mechanical assembly that contains a housing, a bracket, and fasteners in which each fastener is a block composed of a bolt, washer, and nut. The only restriction on nested blocks is that you cannot insert blocks that reference themselves.
