Working Smartly with Blocks in AutoCAD

Share this class

Description

Blocks are important in AutoCAD software. Working with blocks is not always fun, and can be tedious. There are missed opportunities when objects should be blocks, but are missed or the effort does not justify the reward. And if you always insert a block a certain way, shouldn't AutoCAD just know this? AutoCAD 2024 software introduced machine learning to help productivity. The block-related features got even smarter in AutoCAD 2025. Let's take a deep dive into this. Like what? Finding the blocks to replace is no longer a tedious exercise. AutoCAD now offers assistance by suggesting blocks that are similar to what you've picked or recently placed. AutoCAD can place blocks in a manner similar to a recently placed block. Discover a workflow to convert multiple instances of selected objects into blocks. Or use the AI-driven Object Detection feature to scan your drawing and find objects to be converted into blocks.
