To use some collision detection and service validation features in CADmep, certain customized AutoCAD blocks must exist in the drawing. These blocks are used as visual indicators to display in the model and identify the locations of various collision conditions.
A variety of custom AutoCAD blocks, intended to be used for collision detection and service validation, are supplied with CADmep. These custom blocks are shown below, and by default are typically located in:
- C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Fabrication <version>\Imperial Content\<version>\Blocks\Annotation Blocks\ADSK Annotation Blocks.dwg
- C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Fabrication <version>\Metric Content\<version>\Blocks\Annotation Blocks\ADSK Annotation Blocks.dwg
You can use these sample blocks provided with CADmep, or you can create and use your own custom blocks.
