Purely "dwg block".  Let's say on dwg you have a rectangle and a text inside of it. You make a "Block1".

Then another rectangle and a different text inside. You make "Block2".

Now, can I make "Block3" having inside of it "Block1" and "Block2" AS BLOCKS.

So far I can make "Block3" but inside of Block3 the components (Block1 and Block2) get exploded. I would like to have keep as blocks.

Just started to read Help - Group Annotations.  Could that be it ?

RE: Block within a block within a block ...

As far as I know, you still need to explode them. I have not been able to use a block within a block. I don't have SW06 yet, maybe it has changed?
