Add Content with DesignCenter
The right portion of the DesignCenter window operates on the content dis-
played. Double-clicking an item in the content area displays successive levels
of detail. For example, double-clicking a drawing image displays several
icons, including an icon for blocks. Double-clicking the Blocks icon displays
images of each block in the drawing.
Add Content to a Drawing
You can add content from the content area into your current drawing using
several methods:
■ Drag an item to the graphics area of a drawing to add it using default set-
tings, if any.
■ Right-click an item in the content area to display a shortcut menu with
several options.
■ Double-click a block to display the Insert dialog box; double-click a hatch
to display the Boundary Hatch and Fill dialog box.
You can preview graphical content such as a drawing, xref, or block in the
content area, and you can display a text description if available.
Update Block Definitions with DesignCenter
Unlike xrefs, when the source file of a block definition is changed, block
definitions in the drawings that contain that block are not automatically
updated. With DesignCenter, you decide whether a block definition should
be updated in the current drawing. The source file of a block definition can
be a drawing file or a nested block in a symbol library drawing.
