BlockAid is a very easy-to-use library tool that helps organize library blocks and details for an individual or an entire office!
This tool floats over the AutoCAD screen for quick access and can be minimized with a double-click!
Adding content to BlockAid is as easy as dropping a drawing into a folder.
Feature list :
- BlockAid can be launched one of two ways.
- Type BLOCKAID at the AutoCAD command prompt and browse your local or network folders for library content.
- (blockaid "x:/mylibrary/stuff") or (blockaid "x:\\mylibrary\\stuff") can be added to a custom menu or menu button to direct the user to a specific folder on your local or network drive.
- Floats over the AutoCAD window while you work.
- Main dialog can be minimized & maximized with a single-click.
- Unlimited library structure
- Libraries can be stored on a network drive for easy access by everyone in your office.
- Subfolders can be created within library folders to organize library content into subcategories.
- Easy to use configuration interface
- BlockAid has two modes : Locked and Unlocked
- While locked none of the of the Block Settings can be changed. If the block image or name is double-clicked the block will be inserted.
- While unlocked all of the Block Settings can be changed. If the block image is double-clicked the block drawing file will be opened for edit and if the block name is double-clicked the rename dialog will open.
- Block Settings - are stored in a an INI formatted DWI file for each drawing in a library
