In addition to sharing blocks by copying and pasting them, you can cut and paste them. Cutting blocks from the database is similar to copying them; the main difference is that cut blocks are physically moved and placed on the clipboard, allowing you to move blocks to other databases.
Prior to removing blocks from their chains, Database Manager takes each chain off scan. Make sure you place the chain on scan when you finish editing it. iFIX provides several ways to do this. For more information about placing a block or chain on scan, refer to the section Placing Blocks On and Off Scan.
If you cut a block from the middle of the chain, Database Manager attempts to connect the two portions of the chain, as the following figure shows.
