Before starting Content Builder to create a block-based part, you must draw a 3D model block for each new part size of the part family you want to create. Save the part size models as AutoCAD blocks. You should also create a 2D schematic symbol block that represents the part family. All 3D model blocks for the individual part sizes and the schematic symbol for the part family must be saved in the same drawing file.
