Feature Usage:

Important - Most of the functionality in BlockWerx is available via right-click context menus and the roll-ups.

BlockWerx has a modern drag and drop interface so operations like moving, copying, inserting, and opening can be performed by dragging an image or group of images from BlockWerx and dropping it on another Library tab or into AutoCAD, Explorer, etc.

The following operations are supported in both the standalone and AutoCAD-dependent versions.

• To move drag the selection and drop it on the Library tab where you would like it moved. All associated dwg, bak, and sld files are moved to the new location and any description you have given the block is moved into the appropriate bxd file.
• To copy, drag the selection and hold the 'Ctrl' key while dropping it on the Library tab where you would like it copied. All associated dwg, bak, and sld files are copied as well.
• To open, drop the selection into AutoCAD. All blocks in the selection are then opened in AutoCAD (post-R14 versions only).

The following operations are only supported in AutoCAD-dependent versions.

• To insert, hold the 'Ctrl' key while dropping the selection into AutoCAD. If you have selected more than one block, then each one will be inserted using the parameters you have set for that Library.

Preset the following parameters for insertion:

• Insert Point, Scale, Rotation
• Insert multiple copies - enter the number or 0 to keep inserting until you cancel.
• Layer - presents a list of layers in current drawing or you can type in a layer that does not yet exist and it will be created for you.
• Recognizes ATTDIA and ATTREQ system variables
