Bookmark Frequently Used Content
DesignCenter provides a solution to finding content that you need to access quickly on a regular basis. Both the tree view and the content area include options that activate a folder called Favorites. The Favorites folder can contain shortcuts to content on local or network drives as well as in internet locations.
When you select a drawing, folder, or another type of content and choose Add to Favorites, a shortcut to that item is added to the Favorites folder. The original file or folder doesn't actually move; in fact, all the shortcuts you create are stored in the Favorites folder. The shortcuts saved in the Favorites folder can be moved, copied, or deleted using Windows? Explorer.
With DesignCenter, you can organize access to drawings, blocks, hatches, and other drawing content. You can drag content from any source drawing to your current drawing. You can drag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette. Source drawings can be on your computer, on a network location, or on a website. In addition, if you have multiple drawings open, you can use DesignCenter to streamline your drawing process by copying and pasting other content, such as layer definitions, layouts, and text styles between drawings.With DesignCenter, you canBrowse for drawing content such as drawings or symbol libraries on your computer, on a networked drive, and on a web pageView definition tables for named objects such as blocks and layers in any drawing file and then insert, attach, or copy and paste the definitions into the current drawingUpdate (redefine) a block definitionCreate shortcuts to drawings, folders, and Internet locations that you access frequentlyAdd content such as xrefs, blocks, and hatches to a drawingOpen drawing files in a new windowDrag drawings, blocks, and hatches to a tool palette for convenient access
