Tool Palette Question..
« on: May 01, 2009, 07:39:08 AM »
Hi,

In a tool palette, can i have a typical blockname (which is a generic block in all our projects but maybe everso slightly different for each drawing) but instead of the path being hardcoded to the drawing it was originally from, can i have it to insert the block from the current drawing?

Yeah i know i can just do a standard insert from the drawing or even set-up a palette from the blocks in the drawing but i don't want to do that for every different project, i just want one palette with standard blocks in..

Any ideas?

It doesn't matter if the path is hard coded. If there is a block of that name already in the current drawing and you try to insert a block (via toolpalette or standard insert) with the same name (unless you delete all existing blocks with that name, and purge the file) it will insert the block as per the one in the drawing.
