Access blocks and block libraries using the Blocks palette
- [Instructor] We're staying in our new office proposal underscore blocks .DWG file. And in this particular video we're going to take a look at how we access blocks and block libraries using the blocks palette. Now, the lovely thing about this is in more recent versions of AutoCAD, they've allowed you to work with blocks in a pallet like you do with tool pallets like you do with your properties pallet, like you do with your external references pallet. And it condenses everything you need about your blocks into the one place. Now I've left the drawing, the new office proposal blocks drawing as it was at the end of the last video. Now you may have placed this workstation block here we don't need it anymore. So select it, right click and just erase it for now. And what I am going to do is pan across to the right a little bit like that. I'm going to go to the insert tab on the ribbon, click on the insert flyout here on the…
