[jtm2020hyo]

Whats is the object equivalent in FreeCAD for AutoCAD blocks?

Something I got used to also but not exactly the same in FC

You can try
- Arch Reference
- App:Part + Link

Maybe others have more ideas ?

App::Part + PartDesign::SubShapeBinder

[yorik]

There are many more workflows too... Part Compound + App Link or simply Draft Clone

There is nothing like ACAD Blocks.
The question is what you like reach?

For the no ACAD people. A Block is a model file, witch is an part in the Drawing and can place several times. If you change one all of them change.
If you place a new Block with the same name. You get a question to update the existing Blocks.
You can add some model elements end export them as Block.
A block can have sup sup sup...... blocks. And the block is not linked with the file in your HDD parth.
The layer structure in a Block will import by placing the block.
Blocks can have visible and invisible Attributes. It can be linked withe a datebase.
And you can do some other crasy thinks with it.

Hello I was doing some tests, I find than dxf DWG import should change, a shape object is created for when a AutoCAD block object ia imported, I find than a cloned object is better option, because is possible edit just the original replicate this change to others.

I mean this is a good change and any good addition is create a block or clone manager, this for easy edition in our 2D drawings, and allow edit a cloned object could be cool too
