[GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [M](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/M/(M).md)
## 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.
