Blocks in drawing

    I have the following lisp to use a certain leader head, defined by a drawing on our network.

    (prompt "\nSpecify first leader point...")
    (setq GP (getpoint))
    (prompt "\nSpecify next point:")
    (command "SETVAR" "DIMLDRBLK" "ICON-ARROWHEAD" "QLEADER" GP PAUSE PAUSE PAUSE "" "SETVAR" "DIMLDRBLK" ".")

    but if the block is not already in the drawing, the lisp will not work and we have a lot of drawings already created without the block in the template drawing file.

    Is there a way to "quietly load the block for use in the lisp, without have to insert the block and deleting it?
    Thanks

    Try this to silently load the block.

    (command "insert" "blockname" \e)
