BlockPalette with File/Folder Parameter?

[CNinBC]

Is there a command or script allows BlockPalette to be opened on specific folder or files?

something like (Command "BlockPalette" " C:\\CAD\\Blocks\\WaterValves.dwg")

Thanks.

With the blocks pallet open there should be a tab called Libraries. Within that tab if you navigate to WaterValves.dwg, each time you reopen the blocks pallet tab that should be the default.

If you're meaning Design Center:

(command "adcnavigate" "yourpathhere")

For "yourpathhere" use double backslashes for folder separations, i.e.:

C:\\Sample\\SampleSub\\Blocks <---will open DC to a folder

C:\\Sample\\SampleSub\\Blocks\\MyBlock.dwg\\Blocks <---will open DC to a specific drawing and display the blocks within

thanks for replying to this, my intention is to create a button on the tool palette to guide CAD users to load different block library from separated DWG sources onto their block palette, don't want them to navigate to those files manually.

Thanks for the advice, my intention is using the Block Palette on Autocad/Civil 3D 2024, I am aware of the Design Center option, just wondering if the Block Palette has the same parameter as the Design Center.

Ah, ok. Thank you for clarifying.

Most times Civil3D questions posted over in the Civil3D forum will get you more accurate responses.

Have you looked at old fashioned pop menu's they can be seperated by type.

is this a build-in function or an add-on to CAD? Thanks.

(setvar 'blocknavigate "C:\\CAD\\Blocks\\")

Blocks Pallete -> Libraries
