Components Blocks work in most ways similar to a normal Block because if you change one Components Block, it will change all matching Components Blocks. However, Components Blocks do not include panels. Instead, the panels that were there when you created the Components Block serve as a reference, letting you move and snap your Components Block to different panel configurations in your drawing, as seen below. Read more on how to clone, insert, and modify your Component Blocks from the Block section.

Creating components block

Create a Components Block by following these steps:

1. Select the group of components in the drawing area that you wish to be a part of your Components Block, including the panels.
2. Right-click on the group of components and select Create Components Block from the context menu:
   
   
   
   
3. Name the Components Block in the Block dialog box that appears, or in the green Quick Properties box.
   
   The Block dialog

 You can edit the Components Block the same way as the regular Block. When you edit a Component Block the background is pink.

Placing Component Blocks

1. Insert or copy the Components block.
2. The closest panel to your selection point will highlight and snap to a panel that is the correct size

If you place the Components Block in a panel configuration that has different sizes from the panels attached when you created the Block, you will see either a yellow warning or a red error outline. The errors will also be noted in the Validation tool. The error boxes do not print.
