Drawing Resources

Drawing resources are objects listed in the Drawing Resources folder at the top of the browser. They include definitions for the sheet formats, title blocks, borders, and sketched symbols that are available in the drawing. You can customize, add to, or delete items from Drawing Resources.

Placed drawing resources

The Drawing Resources folder contains object formats. When you place a resource in the drawing, you place an instance of the object.

Tip: To add a drawing resource to a drawing, expand a folder to list contents, and then double-click the drawing resource.

Copying or transferring drawing resources

You can copy drawing resources such as sheet formats, borders, title blocks, and sketches from one drawing and paste them in a different drawing. In the target drawing, you can edit the resource definition.

Use the Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard to transfer selected drawing resources to multiple drawings, or replace existing resources in multiple drawings. Close Autodesk Inventor before you start the wizard.

Note: If a title block format is copied to another drawing, prompted entries transfer correctly only if they match exactly in the source and target files.
