You can open DWG files directly in MicroStation and work in DWG Workmode. It will be an understatement to say that Blocks are highly used in the AutoCAD design world.ĪutoCAD users who want to further their design process using MicroStation/PowerDraft (due to a client mandate or simply to migrate to a better software) and are concerned about design information stored in Blocks, here is information on how MicroStation/PowerDraft handles DWG block information. Use of Blocks saves time, ensures consistency and reduces file size. Blocks, can be collected into libraries so they can be used in multiple drawings. Blocks can have their own properties, can inherit properties from various layers and can also include business information like manufacturer, numbers, cost, etc. Blocks or Cells are made of reusable content and can include symbols, repetitive components like plumbing fixtures, doors, windows, equipment, etc. These are a group of geometry or entities that act as one object and can be inserted and manipulated in a design. Blocks in AutoCAD are analogous to Shared Cells in MicroStation/PowerDraft.
