I believe *u can be created from dynamic blocks, you may want to search for that as well as anonymous blocks.

*U is a uniformly scaled anonymous block. *E is a non-uniformly scaled anonymous block. The first can be exploded using the EXPLODE command.
Convert an anonymous block with a *U prefix to normal AutoCAD block by using a lisp routine called UNANON.lsp found here... http://www.draftsperson.net/index.ph...cks_in_AutoCAD"I have only come here seeking knowledge. Things they wouldn't teach me of in college." The Police
