Hi,

>>".. I have tried to type in ADCENTER in the command but nothing appears... "

No "knknown command" message??

 

 

Look in your help[F1], no designcenter in your product available.

 

What are your needs? Blocks?

CMD+2

or CONTENT command.

thanks for your answer. I am a complete beginner 🙂 I need to get access to the basic library of furniture (interior design) to put on my floor plan

I would be surprised if there was something useful (in the standard program scope).

 

Beginner, ok.

TIP read books/tutorial about autocad FOR MAC

watch videos about autocad FOR MAC.

 

AutoCAD (for Windows) and AutoCAD FOR MAC are near to the same (functions are 98% the same),

but it's not identical.

Thanks I have already started. Would you have any advice on where to find the design center then? (icon or via the menu or command...)

ADCENTER is not an option in the MAC versions of AutoCAD: never has been, still is not. You can't get what does not exist. Sorry.

 

You have CONTENT command

Same for INSERT command

Explore your MAC version in more detail in HELP when you get a chance, here is a page from that on the topic of blocks https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-FA75897D-71EA-4929-A926-F0E1D7524986

Plain AutoCAD typically comes with no library of furnitures.

Since you're a beginner this is a good place to start practicing by drawing your own library of furnitures.
