Quick Reference

With DesignCenter, you can organize access to drawings, blocks, hatches, and other drawing content. You can drag content from any source drawing to your current drawing. You can drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette. Source drawings can be on your computer, on a network location, or on a website. In addition, if you have multiple drawings open, you can use DesignCenter to streamline your drawing process by copying and pasting other content, such as layer definitions, layouts, and text styles between drawings.

With DesignCenter, you can

• Browse for drawing content such as drawings or symbol libraries on your computer, on a networked drive, and on a web page
• View definition tables for named objects such as blocks and layers in any drawing file and then insert, attach, or copy and paste the definitions into the current drawing
• Update (redefine) a block definition
• Create shortcuts to drawings, folders, and Internet locations that you access frequently
• Add content such as xrefs, blocks, and hatches to a drawing
• Open drawing files in a new window
• Drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette for convenient access
