reuse of the block of hierarchy layout

Please let me know if reuse of the block/page of hierarchy layout was eventually implemented .
I didn;t update DT version for awhile, may be this important feature was already working?
Is "lock trace" of the block' layout indeed gets locked and can be copied and pasted?
A year ago I tried this "lock" feature did not work and previously made layout could not be reused as a block in a new hierarchy.

Thanks
Vladimir

If schematic has few identical hierarchical blocks you can route one block in PCB Layout and copy placement and routing for other identical blocks. But there is no way to reuse blocks from previous to new design.
