Convert a block to another state

  1. To convert a block to another state, select the block, and then right-click.
  2. Highlight Convert, and then choose the new state (To Existing Object, To Embedded, or To New Object).
    Note

    You can only convert To Embedded if the object is currently linked. You can convert To New Object if the block is currently either embedded or linked.

  3. From the Convert To dialog, select the appropriate object. Click OK.
    Note

    Converting To Embedded happens automatically; that is, no dialog is displayed. Converting To New Object and converting To Existing Object provide a dialog where you choose the object to which you are converting (block type or template type).
