How to Creating CAD block

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:27:00 +0500

To Create Blocks Within a Drawing:

From the Draw menu, choose Block Make. Or type BLOCK in the command line.
At the prompt of the Block Definition dialog box, enter a block name in the Name box.
Under Objects, select Convert to Block.
Disregard the other options. As selecting delete will erase the original objects used to create the block definition in your drawing, so make sure the Delete option is not selected.
Choose Select Objects.
Use your mouse to select the objects to be included in the block. Then press ENTER or the Space bar to complete object selection.
Under Base Point, choose Pick point or Specify on-screen and use your mouse device to specify the block insertion point. You can also enter the X,Y,Z coordinate of the point manually (but not recommend).
In the Description box, enter a description for the block. This will be displayed in AutoCAD Design Center. (Optional).
Under Behavior, check Allow exploding if you want to disassemble them later.
Select OK to close the block definition dialogue box.

Now your CAD block is defined in the current drawing and can be inserted at any time.

To create Drawing Files for Use as Blocks (Wblock):

There are two methods you can use to create a Wblock:
A. Open a new file and create a block, then use SAVE or SAVE AS to complete drawing file.
B. Create a new drawing file from selected objects

Open an existing drawing or create a new drawing containing the objects to be converted into block.
In the Command prompt, enter WBLOCK.
In the Write Block dialog box, choose Select Objects.
Use your mouse to select the objects to be included in the new Wblock. Then Press ENTER or the space bar to complete object selection.
Under Base Point, choose pick point or Specify on-screen and use your mouse device to specify the block insertion point or specify the XYZ coordinate to be (0,0,0).
Under Destination, enter a file name or browse to the directory where you want to save the new block.
Select OK to close the Write block definition dialogue box.

Now your block is created in a separate drawing file and can be inserted at any time.

NB: You can create a single block that contains multiple blocks within itself. They are called Nested blocks. For example, block A has two block components: block 1, 2. All you have to do is select multiple blocks when you are selecting the objects.

The only restriction on nested blocks is that a block cannot coexist within itself. For example, block A cannot contain block A again.

To create a new filter:

1. Click on the very first button on the top left side above the tree navigation and renamed it.

Within the filter dialogue you can double click below any column. For example, you want to create a filter for all layers with the color blue.

Group filter

You can use the layer group filter to group layers that you define regardless of their properties.

To create a new group filter:

1. Click on the second button on the top left side above the tree navigation.

2. Drag the layers you want to group from the right side to the group filter on the left.

We only covered a few procedures, but there are many more advantages for using layers.
