Block (AutoCAD)
A graphical depiction / symbol in AutoCAD that represents a person or asset in Planon ProCenter.
In addition to using static blocks for representing assets and persons, Planon ProCenter’s CAD Import supports dynamic blocks (AutoCAD) only on Google Chrome. Dynamic blocks allow you to create flexible parameters and actions. However, static is preferred.
• A block name must not be longer than 50 characters, otherwise the import for this specific record will fail. The scaling factor and unit factor of blocks on supported drawings must be one.• Planon does not support anonymous blocks. If these blocks are 'exploded' Planon cannot guarantee that CAD Integrator will continue to perform well.
Example
A table can be created as one block that can take the place of all related blocks (for tables) with varying dimensions in a drawing.
