    Why should we use Blocks, Xrefs and Images?

    • Save Time! Using Blocks, XREFs and Images will greatly reduce your design time by letting you use information over and over that was traditionally a source of much labour in the world of manual drafting and for those AutoCAD users who have not mastered these tools!
    • Provides very positive customer feedback and interaction to work out problems with design details displayed in a viewport early in the design cycle, NOT when the job is finished and surprising people with their first real look at small details.
    • Highly suitable for Mechanical Engineering details, Architectural details, Interior Design, Facilities Management, Civil Engineering, Industrial Design, etc.
