Civil Survey Solutions - Webcast: AutoCAD Blocks & Attributes 101
Thanks to the user feedback ending our last AutoCAD based webcast (AutoCAD Tips & Tricks - Part 2), this session will be focusing on AutoCAD blocks and attributes.
We will be creating standard blocks that can be used for symbology and varying a block to enable it to scale based upon the drawing / viewport scale set in your drawing.
We will also be creating a drawing frame that contains labels / tags that we refer to as attributes and the reuse of blocks to cut down on time spent redrafting symbology that has already been created. Dynamic blocks will be covered in a future web session.
