# DesReuseBlock

Reuse blocks are items that can be reused in future board-level design projects.

### Common Data Model

- [Reuse Block](https://w3id.org/altium/cdm/library/ReuseBlock) — A reusable section of a design stored in a Workspace, typically combining schematic circuitry with its PCB representation; a block can also be schematic-only or PCB-only. Placing a reuse block on a schematic sheet brings its PCB content into the board design when changes are transferred through an ECO.

  - IRI: [`https://w3id.org/altium/cdm/library/ReuseBlock`](https://w3id.org/altium/cdm/library/ReuseBlock)
  - GRID: `grid:workspace:{workspace-id}:library:reuse-block/{id}`

### Returned By

### Member Of

[`DesReuseBlockConnection`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/library-management/types/objects/des-reuse-block-connection.md) object · [`DesReuseBlockEdge`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/library-management/types/objects/des-reuse-block-edge.md) object

### Interfaces

#### [`Node`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/interfaces/node.md) interface

The node interface is implemented by entities that have a global unique identifier.

```graphql
type DesReuseBlock implements Node {
  description: String!
  id: ID!
  latestRevision: DesReuseBlockRevision!
  name: String!
  revisions: [DesReuseBlockRevision!]!
}
```
