1. For Block Build (DV_BLOCKBUILD): Enter the command or click the button on the Ribbon, specify an insertion point, then select objects to form the new block. The plugin generates a unique name, creates the block definition using native AutoCAD methods, and inserts it immediately—streamlining the process of converting loose geometry into reusable components during modeling.

2. For Block Update (DV_BLOCKUPDATE): Enter the command or click the button on the Ribbon, select the target block reference in your drawing, then choose an external DWG file containing the updated block definition. The plugin automatically clones and synchronizes the block, updating all instances, regenerating the drawing, and handling attributes or dynamic elements—perfect for incorporating revisions from shared libraries without reloading entire files.

3. For Block Rename (DV_BLOCKRENAME): Enter the command or click the button on the Ribbon, pick the block to rename, and use the intuitive dialog to enter a new name. The system checks for conflicts and applies the change instantly across the drawing, helping maintain an organized block table during iterative design phases.

4. For Block Change Base Point (DV_BLOCKCHANGEBASEPOINT): Enter the command or click the button on the Ribbon, select the block, and specify the new base point. This adjusts the block's origin, shifting geometry relative to insertion points while ensuring compatibility with attributes and dynamic blocks—ideal for realigning blocks in assembly drawings without affecting overall layouts.

5. For Block Change Base Point Keep Position (DV_BLOCKCHANGEBASEPOINTKEEPPOSITION): Enter the command or click the button on the Ribbon, select the block and pick the new base point. It recalibrates the origin but compensates by repositioning all references to preserve their visual locations, making it invaluable for precise modifications in detailed schematics where positional accuracy is critical.

6. For Block Add Attribute (DV_BLOCKADDATT): Enter the command, select a target block, and define attribute details (Tag, Prompt, Value, Layer, Style) in the pop-up dialog. After confirming, use the dynamic preview to visually place the attribute; the tool adds it to the block definition and automatically synchronizes all instances to display the new data immediately.

7. For Block Send (DV_BLOCKSEND): Enter the command, select the loose objects you wish to merge, then pick the target block. The plugin moves the selected geometry into the block's internal definition—transforming it to match the block's coordinate system—and updates all instances to include the new objects while removing the originals from the drawing.

8. For Block Break (DV_BLOCKBREAK): Enter the command and select a block to remove. The system calculates the total number of instances and requests confirmation via a dialog box; upon approval, it deletes every instance of that block from the drawing and purges the block definition completely to maintain a clean file database.

These commands integrate seamlessly: For instance, build a new block, update it from an external source, rename for clarity, adjust base points as needed.......—all within the same session. This workflow enhances efficiency by automating block management, allowing you to iterate designs faster and collaborate more effectively in professional CAD environments.
