How to better manage CAD gallery
Superlib software is a very good library management system, allowing you to save a lot of work, in the use of the block more convenient and easy to operate. Shown below is the main interface of Superlib (Superlib). Startup method Superlib can work alone to manage the library, after starting AutoCAD, Superlib can automatically establish a connection with AutoCAD, you can also work in the AutoCAD environment. There are two ways to start: a. Select windows start - & gt; Programs - & gt; Superlib - & gt; Superlib, you can run. b. Start AutoCAD, in the command line, type: super to establish the library just installed Superlib, the library is empty, there is no block, you need to create their own library. The first step is to create your own gallery, right click on "local" to create your own gallery. The second step is to add a block: New Block: Right-click, select "Add", the system requires that you select the entity that makes up the block, select the entity, the system requires that you select the insertion point of the block. Select a point as the insertion point. The system automatically produces a slide of the block and the block, and it will be such as the library, and then display the main interface. Block into the library: as a designer or drafter, there must be a lot of need to reuse the graphics on hand need to be made into a block to be used repeatedly, right? You must also be placed in their own commonly used folder, right, you can all of these blocks to this library management system to use. There are three ways to add blocks to the library: 2. Wblocks that have been made into individual dwg files. Super Gallery needs you to point out the directory where these blocks are located, and then Super Gallery will list all the dwg files in this directory, and you can either include all of them, or select some of them.3. Searching for blocks. Super Gallery will search the specified directory and its subdirectories to find out all the dwg files and all the blocks in the dwg, and then library them according to your choice. Step 3, create a directory: Since the blocks will accumulate more and more, you may need to store them in a subdirectory in order to find them. Super Gallery adopts a similar directory tree structure as Window, and the operation is very simple, you can find the basic commands with the right-click shortcut. You can create as many galleries as you need, such as architectural, structural, landscape, etc. You can create multiple directories under the gallery directory for easy management and searching. You can "Rename", "Copy", "Paste" and other Windows editing commands for blocks in the Super Library. After the establishment and planning of the gallery, the future is slowly in the work process to enrich their own gallery. Organize and enrich the gallery to organize the gallery is more convenient to use the gallery, in the current graphics to insert the required block: 1. in the main interface with the left mouse button double-click the block to be inserted; 2. press the right mouse button and then select the "Insert into AutoCAD"; 3. select the block and then press the "I" key. After selecting the insertion point, entering the X scale, entering the Y scale, and entering the rotation angle in AutoCAD, the block will be inserted into the current drawing. We can configure the method of block insertion by modifying the global settings of the gallery, e.g., repeating the insertion without specifying the X and Y scales and using a pre-defined scale value. Each block can also have its insertion parameters set individually. We can use a block in the gallery to replace the specified block object; you can also use a block in the gallery to replace all the blocks in the diagram with the specified block name, just like the redefinition of the block in AutoCAD.
