AutoCAD DesignCenter

The AutoCAD DesignCenter (ADC), similar to the Windows Explorer in appearance, provides a more
intuitive and efficient dialog interface in which you can “mine your design.” With ADC you can easily
view and copy data from any drawing!open or not. You can list drawing content such as blocks, layer
definitions, layouts, and xrefs from sources as varied as local machines, network drives, and even Internet
sites. You can then simply drag and drop any of these components from one drawing file into any
currently open file. Additional automation is provided for blocks: if both block and destination drawing
have units assigned, the block automatically scales to match the drawing units. You benefit by being able
to easily and quickly extract and reuse previously completed work.
