List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Content Area (DesignCenter) Displays the content of the "container" currently
selected in the tree view. A container is a network, computer, disk, folder, file,

Depending on the container selected in tree view, the content area typically
displays the following:
■ Folders containing drawings or other files
■ Drawings
■ Named objects contained in drawings (named objects include blocks, xrefs,
layouts, layers, dimension styles, table styles, multileader styles, and text
styles)
■ Images or icons representing blocks or hatch patterns
■ Web-based content
■ Custom content developed by third-party applications
From the content area, you can insert blocks or hatch patterns or attach
external references in a drawing by dragging, by double-clicking, or by
right-clicking and choosing Insert Block, Attach Xref, or Copy. You can drag
or right-click to add other content to drawings, such as layers, dimension
styles, and layouts. You can drag blocks and hatches from DesignCenter to
tool palettes.
NOTE You can access relevant content area and tree view options on a shortcut
menu by right-clicking in the tree view or the content area.
