# Redefine Block [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Index.md) → [User Guide](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/User%20Guide/(User%20Guide).md) → [What's new in GstarCAD 2019](%28What%27s%20new%20in%20GstarCAD%202019%29.md) ## **Redefine Block** Now design center offers a quick way to update instances of block. Redefining a block allows you to overwrite each block instance without changing the block name, all while keeping the original block's position. Alternatively, if you just copy a newer version of a block into your active drawing, the block will not update – it will instead inherent the active drawing's block definition. By redefining a block, there is no need for deleting, purging, and copying.  --- Gstarsoft Co.Ltd. ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/Redefine%20Block.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/Redefine%20Block.md)
