## Function Description:
This command is used to insert multiple instances of a block in a rectangular array.
Before specifying the position of the insertion point, options preset the scale and rotated
angle of a block. Presetting is useful for dragging a block using a scale factor
and a rotation rather than 1 or 0\. Users can specify a distance for the scale options or
an angle for rotation.
Blocks inserted using the MINSERT command can not be exploded. You can not use
the MINSERT command with annotative blocks.
