Block Explode

This command retains the values of attributes when a block is exploded. The standard Explode command changes the attribute values back to the attribute type. For example, using Explode, a Carlson point block would become PNTNO, PNTELEV, PNTDESC. Block Explode would keep the point attribute values, such as 10, 1000.0, EP. The layer names of the exploded block attributes can be either the insert layer of the parent block or the original attribute layers from the block definition.
