This AutoCAD macro pastes as block, explodes, creates an unnamed group, and purges the block.

This AutoCAD macro pastes as block, explodes, creates an unnamed group, and purges the block. Groups are much easier to work with than blocks.  
I use this almost every day.

Command Name: Paste as Group

Description: Pastes objects from the Clipboard into the current drawing as a group

Macro:

^C^C_pasteblock;(setq LstBlk(vla-get-Name (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast))));_explode;_last;_
-group;_create;*;;_previous;;(command "-purge" "B" LstBlk "N")(setq LstBlk nil)

Notes from Cadalyst tip reviewer R.K. McSwain: A very clever way to add another option with pasting in objects from the clipboard. Thanks Tom! If you are looking for an enchanced way to paste as a block, see Tip #4366.
