When I thought they were meant to make them smaller.
Here is the example
I've got 5824 items in my drawing they represent four floors, but one floor is repeated twice, so it's 5599 items. Now I made a block with the floors in it and inserted it into my drawing five times and changed the visibility state to show which floor I wanted showing.
Without the block inserted the drawing size was 576kb.
With the block inserted 5 times the drawing size was 1.7Mb
WHY?

Right I've completed my drawing and with 5824 separate items for the floor plan it's only 604kb big.
I recreated the floor plan and took the 5824 separate items out, and only put one block in. The block consists of 5599 items, yet the file size is 1,213 kb

Ah that sounds like a sensible answer. BUT even when I only had one block in there (look a couple of posts up) The file size was still twice as big as when it had no blocks in there.
