Understand the annotation scale.
In some cases, you'll want to create a block that is depen-
dent on the drawing scale. You can create a block that adjusts itself to the scale of your draw-
ing through the annotation scale. When the annotation scale feature is turned on for a block,
the block can be set to appear at the correct size depending on the scale of your drawing.

too rigid for some grouping applications. AutoCAD offers groups, which are collections of
objects that are similar to blocks but aren't as rigidly defined.
