Re: Intellicad explorer/ designcenterThank you for the help, . I will have to structure some drawings with what i want to be able to inherit in other drawings/projects where i can open a few up and use them as a design center instead of using the filesystem directory trees that i am familiar with in ACAD. Good to get a second opinion. It would appear the only thin i miss after from defecting from the autodesk hostage situation is the designcenterTarromend wrote: ↑Wed Aug 20, 2025 10:41 pmI think Intellicad Explorer is not exactly the same as Autodesk Designcenter. AutoCAD's Designcenter allows you to browse the file system and drag and drop blocks, layers... from other drawings, while Intellicad's Explorer usually focuses on managing resources in the open drawing (layers, dimstyles, textstyles...).
Check the Tools -> Explorer menu to see if there is a tab for Folders or Files. If not, Intellicad R14 probably does not support browsing the file system directly like AutoCAD. A temporary solution is to open another drawing and copy/paste the object, or use the INSERT command to insert blocks from an external file.
