Insert Blocks You can choose from the following three methods to insert blocks into drawings: ■ Insert dialog box. Place a block by specifying its insertion point, scale, and rotation angle. ■ DesignCenter. Locate symbol libraries and place or drag a block into a drawing or onto a tool palette. Use DesignCenter to locate and manage a large number of blocks and block libraries. ■ Tool Palettes window. Place or drag a block into a drawing. Use tool palettes to organize and access your most commonly used blocks. Tutorial: Adding Blocks 1 Open MyDesign, the drawing that you created and saved in a previous tutorial. 2 Offset the lines to create walls (if it's a health spa or motor housing) or ridges (if it's a catch for a window lock). Use a value for the offset distance that is appropriate for what you are creating. Clean up the corners using Fillet with the fillet radius set to 0. Insert Blocks | 117
