When you move your cursor over a representative i-drop content image
on a website, the cursor changes to a dropper image.
2 On the shortcut menu, click Insert As ➤ Block.
3 In the i-drop Options Dialog box, Choose Associated File area, select the
associated data files you want to download with your i-drop content.
4 In the Choose Destination Path area, the default destination path is
displayed. You can enter a different path or click the [...] button to locate
a different folder.
5 Click OK.
6 In the drawing, click where you want your content inserted.
To specify the default type of i-drop content
1 At the Command prompt, enter setidrophandler.
2 In the Set Default i-drop Content Type dialog box, in the Choose Default
i-drop Content Type list, select a type of i-drop content.
The only i-drop content types that are listed are those for installed
Autodesk products that provide this type of i-drop functionality.
If the representative i-drop content image you drag into your drawing
points to more than one type of content, this setting specifies which type
of content is actually inserted. Selecting Block specifies that a block is
inserted. You can drop a block into a drawing that was created in any
AutoCAD-based product.
To view a log file of i-drop content in your drawing
■ In the folder where your drawing is stored, double-click the file named
<drawing name>_idrop.txt.
The log file displays the name of the drawing file (target file), the name of
the i-drop content file inserted in your drawing (located at the end of the
source URL), the date and time it was inserted, the source URL of each
associated data file, and the destination (location) of any associated data
files.
To view the URL hyperlink for the source of an inserted i-drop content image
1 In your drawing, select the i-drop content image.
2 Move your cursor over the selected i-drop content image.
