    Unhappy AutoCAD tool palettes

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Anyway so here's the problem: I am struggling to edit the standard set of blocks that comes with AutoCAD such as receptacles junction boxes etc. I want to edit the standard blocks and then save my changes for future use. Right now the blocks come in at different sizes then I would like. I try to edit them in the block editor however the changes I make only apply to the drawing I am currently working on. The changes do not apply across the board on all drawings in all files. Please help me, any and all help would be hugely appreciated!


    Thank you!

    Are you trying to edit the AEC Objects from AutoCAD MEP? Or are you editing the standard 2D blocks from vanilla AutoCAD? If you are trying to edit the AutoCAD MEP ones, there's a process you have to follow.
