Load Multiple blocks/symbols into drawing

[chadhearne]

Hi,

I would like to know how to load all of the symbols/blocks that I have created into one file, (my default template file), without having to "insert" each individual one. I would also like to be able to do it so that it doesn't have to reference any other files or shape files. These symbols/blocks need to be inside or part of the default drawing every time I open it.

Thanks,

Chad

Is it a DWG file? Then INSERT it.
If not, ADCENTER will let you drag and drop as few or as many blocks (and so much more) between files.

Yes, all symbols/blocks are in seperate DWG files. One symbol/block = one DWG file. I am looking to add them all at once, not painstakingly insert each one, one after another. I tried ADCENTER but again I am dragging and dropping each one. It would be better if I could select them all at once and drag and drop them all at once.

Cheers

Ah, I misunderstood: I thought all your blocks are in one template file.
Are all these single DWG files in one folder?
