    Posted: 03.May.2016 at 14:19
Hello CAD Forum,

I am looking to do some simple piping isometric sketches...i have found a nice collection of piping isometric blocks that someone has arranged nicely on a single .dwg...what is the best way to set-up my autocad to use these same blocks?
Do i insert this entire drawing into my sketch and copy the symbols i need or do i create a block for each symbol?

Is there a good way to create tool palettes?

What is everyone's opinion on doing this task?

Thanks,
Steve

Create a new tool palette and populate it with the isometric blocks.

OR...

Utilize the Design Center to drag/drop the blocks from the master drawing into your new drawing.

Methods for creating tool palettes from the AutoDesk Knowledge Network...
