English translation:explode/separate
Explanation:
The CAD drawing header might be delivered as a single "grouped" item.
This refers to separating the individual grouped elements that make up the drawing's header (lines, images text etc).
Then the header can be edited.
In autocad this is "explode group".

If needed, explode the imported file.

If the imported title block includes text, perform a full explode to separate the imported object into its component objects.

Sind die Planköpfe als Block oder als Linien/Text erstellt, so kopiert man
diese vom Layout ins Modell in eine Ecke. Den Block muß man dann
auflösen, damit er bearbeitet werden kann.
