Group block from smaller blocks

[Anonymous]

Is there a tutorial on how to take multiple seperate blocks and combine them to become one group? I need all of the seperate blocks to be inserted at the correct position (i.e a lamp on the right side of the desk) based on a 0,0 insertion point. The hard part is that there are multiple group blocks being used within a drawing that will be edited to be configured in different directions. What is the easiest, most time efficient way to approach this?

Have you considered maybe creating blocks to "nest" your dynamic blocks within, then using tool palettes to insert them? You can have the user prompted for rotation then explode them.

It is a simple solution - maybe it does not cover all the bases? Otherwise, I know that you cannot use groups if you are going to nest them within blocks - they don't survive the explosion. Another alternative would be a lisp program to insert, explode then group, or some variation of that.
