If you don't know anything, you don't have to do anything.
Re: like ACAD
As this is a FreeCAD forum you should explain how these things work and what you expect.

I guess Attributes could be like User Parameters (right click on the Property window and select Add Property).
In general, a block in AutoCAD is a collection of geometry (and other data) that can be referenced as a single entity. So, for example you can select a bunch of lines and circles make it a block and give it a name (and save to a separate file if desired). It can then be entered in the current file as many times as desired, or entered in as many other files as desired. In the local file, unless otherwise specified, any change to the block will update all instances. This can be extended to an external file if desired, so changes could effect many places it's been used.
Since you can make, save and add FreeCAD models, it's similar using Blocks. Or maybe even links.

Welcome to the forum, please provide a good description of what you want to achieve. ACAD and FreeCAD are really really different, and with FreeCAD you can get really advanced parametric tools... So, what are you modelling?

Hi,
i like to create PIDs in FreeCad. For that it it is usefull to have 2D libery. in ACAD you creat there for Blocks. And for the labeling and list creating you use the Attriebuts.
I try to add properties but it do not work.

Attached you can find the use of a compound of the Part Workbench
on some objects of the Draft Workbench.
the compound have been linked 2 times.
and an attempt to have a sketch to auto follow the compound.
Note that I don't know anything about PIDs, and expecially how you mean to use labels.

Consider us being complete idiots as far a ACAD, its attributes and its blocks are concerned. If you want more information from us, you have to tell us what you are talking about.

Re: like ACAD
I have no idea of what is a link. After tried right click on the compound, click Link actions/
Make link, I got some idea.
Could I say it is some kind of Copy?
