Examples

For example we create a new block which contains two lines and then we insert it using the AddBlockSymbol method.

var blk = vdcanvas.AddBlock("myblock");
//add a new line to block
var line1 = vdcanvas.AddLine([0, 0, 0],[2, 0, 0],false,blk.Entities);

//we can set the line color to be 'byblock'(it will get the color of the insertBlock, else it will get the vdcanvas.GetActivePenColor()
line1.PenColor =  vdConst.colorFromString("byblock");

//add an other new line to block
var line2 = vdcanvas.AddLine([1, -1, 0],[1, 1, 0],false,blk.Entities);

//we can set the line color to be 'byblock'(it will get the color of the insertBlock, else it will get the vdcanvas.GetActivePenColor()
line2.PenColor =  vdConst.colorFromString("byblock");

//we insert the block 
vdcanvas.AddBlockSymbol("myblock",[0,0,0],1.0,0,true);
