Dynamic Block Creation - Separate File?

[buckeyefever2]

I'm in the process of making dynamic blocks of my company's electrical symbols and inserting them into a tool palette for quick access for an overall quicker design process. I was wondering if I had to create a separate .dwg file for each individual symbol, or I can combine each block into a master block .dwg file?

Note: Any additional information or tip/tricks on creating dynamic blocks (especially for electrical symbols (i.e. receptacles, switches, etc.) will be a huge help.

No difference to static Blocks.
Create as single DWG and import them AS Block or
create your Blocks in one DWG you can access them with Designcenter or Toolpalette.

Toolpalette create a insert tool:
Open your MyBlocks.dwg,
drag and drop your wanted Block(reference) into the Toolpalette or

Open DC, navigate to Myblocks.dwg, Rightclick and create one new Palette for ALL Blocks in one step.

Hi @buckeyefever2,

I like to place my blocks and dynamic blocks into categorized "master" files. Then as @cadffm suggested, I can use Design Center to access them or even drag them onto tool palettes.

If you need additional help on dynamic blocks I can relocate this thread to the Dynamic Blocks forum for you.
