Hi,

.dwg CAD extension is what all AutoCAD users can deal with. and your needed block is a part from any .dwg CAD file . so you can upload your 3D drawing as .dwg CAD file OR make it as a block with BLOCK command in your .dwg file . if i missed your need please come back and describe more your issue .

A 'block' is just a DWG file with only one 'design' in it: there is no specialty external file format for blocks in AutoCAD.

To be honest... im not sureexactly. Its been years since ive used these programs in school and im needing to do things now that i have never learned.
I jusr remember using revit and downloading blocks for furniture and opening them into a floor plan drawing and this is what this designer wants.

Thank you so much for the help & the info!

Open a blank drawing, draw what you want the block to be, use BLOCK command to make what you drew a block, save drawing and your done. You can then upload that drawing. If you want to make more than one block at a time, you can draw the block and then use the command WBLOCK, tell it where to save it and then upload the saved file.

I would suggest you not  use the BLOCK command to make what you drew a Block inside the drawing file -- if you do, when someone downloads and INSERTs that drawing, it will become a Block with another  Block nested inside it unnecessarily.  Just leave what you drew as a .dwg file, and it will become a [non-nested] Block definition when INSERTed into another drawing.  BUT do  absolutely use the BASE command  in that drawing, to define the location in the drawing that will become the insertion base point when someone uses it in an INSERT command.
