Design Center blocks

[Anonymous]

I bought and downloaded some nice arch blocks for use with ACA but cannot find the Design Center file

location to install them correctly. I've tried searching for the DC file location via  windows explorer to no avail.

Can someone help me locate the Design Center block file?

Here is the screenshot as I downloaded the zip file. Not much to go on but I want to place it in the Design Center location. Can you help?

So that is a ZIP file: AutoCAD does not see content inside ZIP files, you need to remove your DWG files from that ZIP file first in order to use them.

And for ADCENTER, DWG file formats is the default.

I understand they have to be unzipped but where can the be stored to be accessed by Design Center?

In AutoCAD Architecture, with the profile you plan to use set current, open the Options dialog and select the AEC Content tab.  DesignCenter content should be placed in a folder below the specified AEC DesignCenter Content Path.

David as usual you sure know your way around this complex program with your explanation of the problem. But I still find it difficult to unzip the file to correct file location. This is more of a windows problem that an ACA problem, so I'll stumble through it. Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks again.
