Various types of anonymous blocks in AutoCAD.

AutoCAD drawing database (DWG) can contain various types of anonymous (unnamed) blocks. The pseudo-names of anonymous blocks always start with an asterisk "*". You normally cannot use AutoCAD block editing commands with anonymous blocks.

Examples of anonymous blocks:

* *U### - general anonymous blocks
* *E### - anonymous blocks from non-uniformly scaled blocks - when exploded (e.g.
solids, regions)
* *D### - anonymous dimensions (dim blocks)
* *X### - anonymous hatches (hatch blocks)
* *A### - anonymous groups
* *T### - anonymous blocks in tables

AutoCAD add-on applications may create also other types of anonymous blocks.
