To import blocks into AutoCAD, you can use the "Import Block" feature, which allows you to select a DWG file containing the block definition.
Here's how to do it:
-
Open or Create a Drawing: Open an existing drawing file (.dwg) in AutoCAD, or start a new one using a DWG template.
-
Access the Import Block Tool: On the ribbon interface, navigate to the Annotate tab. Within the Symbols panel, click on Import AutoCAD Block.
-
Locate and Select the Block's DWG File: The "Import Block" dialog box will appear. Use this dialog box to browse your computer and select the specific DWG file that contains the block definition you want to import.
-
Insert the Block: After selecting the DWG file, the block will become available for insertion in your current drawing. You can then insert the block as you normally would, specifying the insertion point, scale, and rotation.
In summary, you import blocks by navigating to the Annotate tab, selecting the Import AutoCAD Block tool, and then browsing for the DWG file containing the desired block.
