Hello Everyone!

My question is..would anyone know if other companies would be able to use the blocks that i have added in the Support File Search Path when i send a Cad file to another company even if i purge it?

Reason is that i made a macro for my principal eng. signature block to be placed w/ one keyboard shortcut and i had to add the file to the Support File Search Path. But now im wondering because that would be bad if other companies had access to his signature.

Thanks

Unless the other company has a copy of the block (a DWG file) they would not be able to use it if the block definition has been purged from the drawing file that you sent them.
