DesignCenter
With DesignCenter,
™
you can organize access to blocks,
hatches, xrefs, and other drawing content. You can drag con-
tent from any source drawing to your current drawing. You
can drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette.
Source drawings can be on your computer, on a network loca-
tion, or on a website. In addition, if you have multiple draw-
ings open, you can use DesignCenter to streamline your draw-
ing process by copying and pasting other content, such as
layer definitions, layouts, and text styles between drawings.
