	BlockScaling	This enumeration defines scaling methods for block references.

OdDbBlockTableRecord Methods

	Name	Description
	addAnnoScalestoBlkRefs	Traverses through all block references of this block table record and adds annotation data to each of them.
	appendOdDbEntity	Appends the specified entity to this Block.
	applyPartialUndo	Notification function called each time an Undo operation is performed. This object is using partial Undo.
	assumeOwnershipOf	This method causes the invoked block table record to assume the ownership of all the entities listed in the input entitiesToMove array, and provides an optimized way of moving entities between block table records.
	blockInsertUnits	Returns the block insertion units for this Block.
	blockScaling	Returns the scaling characteristics of references to this Block.
	comments	Returns the description text associated with this Block (DXF 4).
	copyFrom	Copies the contents of the specified object into this object when possible.
	drawable	Returns a pointer to the OdGiDrawable for the object. If the object doesn't have an associated OdGiDrawable object, this function returns NULL.
	dwgInFields	Reads the .dwg file data of this object.
	dwgOutFields	Writes the .dwg file data of this object.
	dxfInFields	Reads the DXF data of this object.
	dxfOutFields	Reads the DXF data of this object.
	explodable	Returns true if and only if references to this Block can be exploded.
	geomExtentsBestFit	This method gets copies of this object, applies parentXform to it and after this calculates extents on the resulting object.
	getBlockReferenceIds	Returns the Object ID's of all OdDbBlockReference entities that reference this Block.
	getErasedBlockReferenceIds	Returns the Object ID's of all erased OdDbBlockReference entities that directly reference this Block.
	getGeomExtents	Returns the WCS geometric extents of this object.
	getLayoutId	Returns the Object ID of the OdDbLayout associated with this Block.
	getPreviewIcon	Returns the preview icon associated with this Block.
	getSortentsTable	Returns the SortentsTable associated with this block.
	hasAttributeDefinitions	Returns true if and only if this Block contains Attribute definitions.
	hasPreviewIcon	Returns true if and only if this Block has a preview icon.
	isAnonymous	Returns true if and only if this Block is anonymous (DXF 70, bit 0x01).
	isFromExternalReference	Returns true if and only if this Block is an Xref (DXF 70, bit 0x04).
	isFromOverlayReference	Returns true if and only if this Block is an overlaid Xref (DXF 70, bit 0x08).
	isLayout	Returns true if and only if this Block represents a layout.
	isUnloaded	Returns true if and only if this Xref is unloaded (DXF 71).
	newIterator	Returns an Iterator that can be used to traverse this Block.
	openBlockBegin	Opens and returns the OdDbBlockBegin object associated with this Block.
	openBlockEnd	Opens and returns the OdDbBlockEnd object associated with this Block.
	origin	Returns the WCS origin of this Block (DXF 10).
	pathName	Returns the path and filename for the Xref drawing (DXF 1).
	postProcessAnnotativeBTR	This function is called when a block is set as annotative. All entities in the block are stripped of their annotative property. If a block has nested blocks, they are exploded to entities.
	setBlockInsertUnits	Sets the block insertion units for this Block.
	setBlockScaling	Sets the scaling characteristics of references to this Block.
	setComments	Sets the description text associated with this Block (DXF 4).
	setExplodable	Controls if references to this Block can be exploded.
	setIsFromOverlayReference	Sets the BlockTableRecord's overlay flag.
	setIsUnloaded	Sets the unloaded status of this Xref (DXF 71).
	setLayoutId	Sets the Object ID of the OdDbLayout associated with this Block.
	setOrigin	Sets the WCS origin of this Block (DXF 10).
	setPathName	Sets the path and filename for the Xref drawing (DXF 1).
	setPreviewIcon	Sets the preview icon associated with this Block.
	subClose	Called as the first operation as this object is being closed, for database-resident objects only.
	subErase	Called as the first operation as this object is being erased or unerased.
	subGetClassID	Overridables.
	subHandOverTo	Called as the first operation of the handOverTo function.
	subSetAttributes	Sets the values of this object's subentity traits, and returns with the calling object's subentity traits.
	subWblockClone	This is subWblockClone, a member of class OdDbBlockTableRecord.
	subWorldDraw	Returns true if the entity has no view-dependent graphics. In another case returns false.
	xrefDatabase	Returns the database that defines this Xref.
	xrefStatus	Returns the Xref status of this Block.
