# Insert Dialog Box [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/Commands/(Commands).md) → [03 Dialog Boxes](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/(Dialog%20Boxes).md) Specify the name and position of the block or drawing to insert.  The location of insertion block is determined by the direction of UCS. Relative Glossary: **Name:** Specify the name of insertion block or the file name which will be inserted as a block. **Browse:**Open the "Select Image File" dialog box, from which users could select the block or drawing to insert. **Path:**Specify the path to the block. **Locate using Geographic Data:**Insert the drawing which located using its geographic date. When the current drawing and the attached image both have geographic date, this option is available. **Insertion Point:**Specify the block insertion point. > **Specify On-Screen:** Specify the block insertion point by point device. > **X:**Specify the X coordinate value of insertion point. **Y:**Specify the Y coordinate value of insertion point. **Z:**Specify the Z coordinate value of insertion point. **Scale:** Specify the scale of insertion block. If specify negative scale for X, Y and Z, it will insert a mirror image of block. > **Specify On-Screen:** > Specify the block scale by point device. > **X:** > Set the *X* scale factors. **Y:** > Set the *Y* > scale factors.**Z:** > Set the *Z* scale factors. **Uniform Scale:** > Specify the uniform scale for X, Y and Z coordinates. **Rotation:**Specify the rotation angle of insertion block in current UCS. > **Specify On-Screen:**Specify the rotation angle of insertion block by pointing device. **Angle:**Specify the rotation angle. **Block Unit:**Display the block unit information. > **Unit:**Specify the INSUNIT value of insertion block. **Factor:**Display the scale factor. It is calculated by the INSUNITS value of block and image unit. **Explode:**Explode the insertion block and insert each part of them. When checking the "Explode" option, users could only select the "Uniform Scale" option. After exploding, some block parts which created on the layer 0 are still kept on this layer; the object color which defined "BYLAYER" becomes white; the object lineweight which defined "BYBLOCK" becomes CONTINUOUS. ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/Insert%20Dialog%20Box.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](../../../2017/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/Insert%20Dialog%20Box.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/Insert%20Dialog%20Box.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/Insert%20Dialog%20Box.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/Commands/03%20Dialog%20Boxes/Insert%20Dialog%20Box.md)
