AutoCAD INSERT Command

INSERT A Block In An AutoCAD Drawing

The INSERT command is used to insert a block into the drawing. When the INSERT command is initiated, the Blocks Pallett is opened. There are four tabs in the Blocks Palette:

1. Current Drawing

All blocks in the current drawing are listed in the Current Drawing tab.

2. Recent

A list of recently inserted blocks is shown in the Recent tab.

3. Favorites

Blocks can be added to the Favorites list by right clicking on the block in the Blocks Palette then selecting “Add to Favorites”. The favorites can then be used as a shorter curated list of commonly used blocks.

4. Libraries

A library is another drawing that contains a collection of blocks in another file. When a particular library is selected, blocks from that file can be inserted into the current drawing. To select a new library, pull down the Block Libraries pull down menu and navigate to the file you want to use blocks from.
