CAD blocks are named groups of objects that act as a single 2D or 3D object. You can use them to create repeated content, such as drawing symbols, common components, and standard details. Blocks help you save time, maintain consistency, and reduce file size, since you can reuse content. You can also share CAD block content with colleagues and peers, allowing for more dynamic collaborations.

You can create your own CAD blocks or choose from pre-made design blocks in both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT software. Insert a block into a CAD drawing either by specifying a drawing file or block definition within a drawing file. Then you can easily move, copy, rotate, or scale it.

You can also define AutoCAD blocks within your current drawing or import them from third-party providers. The latter is often the case when using CAD blocks that relate to specific parts and products.

Creating savable, reusable blocks and then pasting them within a drawing for repeated content saves time and makes everything look consistent. Smart Blocks in AutoCAD 2024 automates part of the process to make it even faster. And using blocks rather than recreating elements can significantly reduce AutoCAD file sizes.

Whether using them for symbols, common components, or other standard details, AutoCAD blocks are sharable files. They are easy to share with colleagues, peers, or any other stakeholders, clearing the way for better collaboration on projects.

Dynamic blocks can save even more time and decrease file size even more, because they can take the place of multiple static blocks. Each dynamic block can change attributes such as shape, size, or configuration depending on how you want to use them.

There are many other places online where you can get access to ready-made CAD blocks suitable for a wide range of design fields. Here are just a handful of CAD block library resources on the internet: 

Dynamic blocks can save you time and decrease file size. Create one block that can change shape, size, or configuration depending on usage instead of inserting multiple static blocks. Add attributes or dynamic properties to CAD blocks, so they can accommodate different text strings, shapes, or sizes.

Smart blocks take the concept of CAD blocks one step further, by automating large parts of the process to save you time. Smart blocks are available in both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. They allow you to get more done with less effort, thanks to intelligent machine-learning technology. Say goodbye to painstakingly adjusting, shifting, and tweaking each new block manually.

Dynamic blocks have flexibility and intelligence. You can easily change a dynamic block reference in a drawing while you work, manipulating the geometry through custom grips or properties. You can adjust the block reference in place. For example, instead of creating multiple blocks for different table types and chair settings, you can create one table block.

A single dynamic block can represent multiple configurations of standard blocks. For more details on creating a dynamic block, as well as real-word examples that can save you a lot of time, check out this blog post.

There a several ways to create a block in AutoCAD. For the quickest way, press CTRL+SHIFT+C on the keyboard, and then snap to the \u201cinsertion\u201d point. The insertion point is the point where the cursor is when you place the block. Next, you select which objects will make up the block and then press ENTER. To paste the block, press CTRL+SHIFT+V. The new block will be unnamed, and you can name it and enter other specifications in the Block Definition dialog box.

For my company, we have a lot of dwgs that we reuse for a bunch of projects e.g. paint booths and large industrial equipment views. We have a cloud system for the files but I have to download the file and open it up to copy it into another drawing. So it's hard to navigate through so many dwgs. I was thinking to organize the files in a blocks library but I would create multiple dwgs with different categories and have the blocks renamed as the previous drawing names. I was just wondering if this would be the best practice when creating the blocks. Any suggestions would be great as well. Thank you for your time and help!

Sorry I also had an inquiry I guess regarding updating blocks libraries if I have to. Let's say that more and more drawings come in and I was to update the blocks library constantly. The process would be open up the dwg of the blocks library, then add the blocks into the dwg, save the file and repeat the process when the next set of drawings show up for it to stay up to date. Thank you for your feedback!

Personally, I would remove this part "17x32 paint booth(Side View) block" and I would put all the blocks in one container drawing of "Paint Booth". You might even be able to shrink that even further if the blocks are of the same shape by making them into a dynamic block.

I would suggest, if you want to create container files like that, is to...

Open one of your own empty "template" files: this would be trouble-free and contain no or very few blocks.

Drag and drop blocks from your block location (or from inside container files if you already have them) of the same type into it from ADCENTER command.

What done, SAVE this file to your desired location and call it whatever is important to you like ThisFileContainsTheseTypesOfBlocks.DWG

Repeat for all other container files.

If you wish to not have or use container files, you can create individual DWGs of each block, in a dedicated folder for that type of block too.

For almost all of us the AutoCAD/LT2022's BLOCK palette, ADCENTER and ToolPalettes would be the methods we would use to then access these newly create libraries. BuT you folks use SharePoint, and as far as I can tell it and AutoCAD don't play together at all unless that link offered new tips I am not aware of today.

And yes, someone will always need to update and keep track of changes and make the necessary updates.

When I import AutoCAD drawings that contain blocks (and, in newer version .dwg files, arrays) the geometry comes in fine. However, when I try to move or rotate, objects that were block (or array) entities in original AutoCAD file seem to have a mind of their own in Max and don't move/rotate in unison with the non-block objects. I also can't even select and group a collection of objects that contain any that were arrays in the original CAD file. My workaround has been to explode blocks and arrays in AutoCAD before importing but I suspect there is a better way.

Thanks. That's interesting. I was reading about blocks in Help documentation last night. It described imported AutoCAD blocks becoming "Block/Style Parent" objects in Max but didn't offer any information on the issue we're experiencing. I just imported a 3d AutoCAD model with blocks. I can only access the blocks thru the heirarchy list. When I click an object - a caster in this case - I can select individual components (wheel, brake) but not the block itself. However when I try to move the entire model (a stool with casters) the stool (non-block objects in the AutoCAD file) goes one way and the casters head off toward the sunset. And I can select all the objects in the model but the "group" option is greyed out in the Group menu.

Blocks display as "Block:original AutoCAD block name" in the heirarchy list and as a "Block/Style Parent" object type in the modify panel when selected. Edit Mesh or Edit Poly modifiers aren't available for that type of object. When I clicked on a caster and selected a component, I could add the mesh modifier to it and then "collapse to", as you described, but it didn't change the behavior of the caster blocks.

Select your imported block object within MAX. Then, hit "page up" to select the fantom parent object. Now move, rotate, scale, etc, the block behaves as expected. Same with a number of blocks. Select them all and then push "page up" and move all the blocks without crazy exploding pieces. Using the spacebar to lock the selection helps prevent inadvertant selection clicks while manipulating the block/s. I'm not familiar with arrays, but maybe this works for those objects as well. 0852c4b9a8
