    (vlax-get-acad-object)

    "BlockName.dwg" ;add path if necessary

    Other than inside a defun command, you can (in a screen or pull-down or
    tablet menu item, for instance) intersperse ordinary macro-type or
    script-type elements (as though you were typing them in) with lisp
    expressions:

    ^C^C-LAYER S <theLayerYouWant> ;+
    -INSERT <theBlockOrDrawingName>
    \<predeterminedScaleFactorIfYouWant>...etc......

    along with lisp pieces like (setq) things to save insertion points or
    rotation angles for later reference, and so on.

    Just use -INSERT with the hyphen in front of it, to bypass the dialog box.
