- In LibreCAD, there is a "Create Block" command, but that command
   is not accessible from the block tool bar; but only from the
   Block menu.
   The "Create Block" command located in the Block menu enable
   user to create a block using the full set of selection tools,
   and also specify the block reference point, using the full set
   of snap tools.


Hope this help,
