Comment on To Group or not to Group… Blocks Vs Groups by D Murry

Good article. I generally like to use groups of blocks in individual drawings. For example, I will draw one bay of pallet racking, create a block of it, and then copy paste it for the whole row of pallet racking. I will then group that whole row together to be more easily manipulated.

Comment on Unraveling the mystery of Blocks & Layer Zero… by Neil Wilson

I am one who strongly prefers to have blocks created on layer zero, mainly since it does not embed layers in the files where they are used. However there are scenarios where it may be necessary to use specific layers for the block entities, such as when you want to control the display of specific parts of the block.
