is an AutoCAD routine which allows you to create blocks and automatically delete the selected entities.
Selected entities are changed to layer 0, then created on the current layer. All you need to input is a name prefix, and the program adds a number suffix, such as _0001.
The routine can also truncate (if there are more than 11 characters) your block name prefix to 11 characters. If you add the number suffix, you have 16 characters in total, giving you enough room for a drawing file name, in case the drawing is used as an XREF.
This routine is also a handy block renamer. Based on your input, it always checks for the first 500 blocks, renames them if they are not numbered in sequence, and then creates the new block, one level up from the previous one.
Blocks without these number suffixes are not changed, which does not enable you to rename your old blocks.
