Summary
The CP_BLKSHP2P command converts selected block, shape, text, and circle objects into points by placing a point at each object’s insertion or center point. This command is ideal for simplifying drawings by reducing complex objects into points while retaining positional accuracy.

Key features include:
- Point Creation at Insertion Points: Creates a point at the insertion point of each selected block, shape, text, or circle, providing a minimal representation of these objects.
- Data Transfer: Any extended entity data or object table data from the source objects is transferred to the points, ensuring data continuity.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source: Places the generated points in the same layer as the original objects.
- Current: Places the points in the current active layer.
- Specify: Allows choosing a specific layer for the points.
- Layer Selection Dialog: Use the “Select” button to easily pick a layer, with the selected layer’s name displayed.
- Deletion Option: Optionally delete the original objects (blocks, shapes, etc.) after creating the points, keeping the drawing organized.
The CP_BLKSHP2P command is useful for reducing complex objects to points for simplified visualization and data management, while preserving critical data and positional accuracy.
