This command enables you to save objects very quickly as intermediate blocks. The objects are retained in the drawing.

The command represents an extension of the Windows clipboard with the advantage that the objects are not lost when the computer is switched off. Furthermore, XRefs can be saved and inserted as intermediate blocks with this command.
