Parameters

Name: Specifies the name of the new block.

ScaleDimsAndAnnot: Specifies whether to scale dimensions and annotations for the new object.
DeleteSelectedGraphics: Specifies whether to replace the selected graphics by the occurrence of the new object.

Remarks

Creates a new block with the specified name. If a block of the specified name already exists, the method will fail. A new block view named "View1" is also created. Any supported objects residing in the select set are added to View1. If there are no supported objects in the select set, View1 will be empty. Optional arguments determine whether or not dimensions and annotations are scaled and whether or not the elements in the select set are replaced by an occurrence of the newly created block. The defaults are the same as in the UI.
