About Adding Multi-View Blocks to a Drawing

Multi-view blocks are inserted in a drawing by referencing their definitions in one or more of the following locations:

Predefined multi-view blocks supplied with AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset are available with DesignCenter. These blocks represent items such as furniture, electrical appliances, pipes, ducts, annotation symbols, and schedule tags.

A generic multi-view block reference tool is supplied in the AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset Stock Tool catalog. This tool is in the Helper Tools category.

How you access a custom multi-view block definition—for example, blocks that you or someone else in your organization defined—depends on what you do with the block after you define it. You can use the multi-view block definition to create AEC content in DesignCenter, or to create a multi-view block tool that can be stored in a tool palette or tool catalog.

When you insert a multi-view block reference in a drawing, you are prompted to specify the insertion point for the block. Depending on how the multi-view block was defined, you may be prompted to specify rotation angle and scale values.
