Merging Block Instances

You can merge a block object into another block, on the same design.

Procedure

1. From the Diagram window or the Design Browser, right-click the block to merge into another target block and select Merge Into.The Merge Into Dialog Box is displayed.

2. Select the target block into which the selected block will be merged and click OK.

Results

• The selected blocks are merged together. Properties and attributes on the blocks are also merged. The merged blocks display broken glyph graphics to indicate that more than one instance exists, as shown in Figure 127.

If the source object has properties or attributes that the target object does not have, they are kept on the merged object.

If the source object has property or attribute values which are the same as the target object, the values from the target object will overwrite the source object.
