Commandline: wirecadifyblock

Explanation

Steps

•Start the command.

•Select a standard CAD block. It must be a block and not exploded entities.

•Follow the directions in the dialog to complete the process of adding the WireCAD attribute set to the CAD block.

 

Possible Uses

•Use existing CAD drawings and work with WireCAD to move the drawing forward.

•Create custom appearance.
