You can insert block reference in the drawing according to your requirement after defining block in the drawing.
When you create a block, you specify its name, its insertion point, and the entities that compose the block. The insertion point is the base point for the block and serves as the reference point when you later insert the block into a drawing.
To create a block
Do one of the following:
Choose Draw>Block> Create Block.
On the Tools toolbar, click the Create Block tool .
Type block and then press Enter.
Type a name for the block, and then press Enter.
Specify the insertion point for the block.
Select the entities that you want in the block, and then press Enter.
The block is created and exists only in the current drawing. The entities you select are removed from the display, because they are now part of the block.
To restore the original entities to the drawing while retaining the new block, type undelete or oops.
In the design center of GstarCAD you can display layers, block, text style, dimension style of the opened drawing, you also can modify,delete related parameter such as text style.

.dwg is the default drawing format of GstarCAD; at present, GstarCAD is compatible with ever version of .dwg and .dxf files from 2.5 to 2010, it is means GstarCAD is compatible from AutoCAD 2.5 to AutoCAD 2012. If you are using AutoCAD 2013, you have to exchange the file with GstarCAD and save it as earlier .dwg version before 2010. By the way, GstarCAD will be compatible with AutoCAD 2013 soon.
