General
The drawing blocks are located under ...\Standard\1100\1100\templates_drawings. 1100 must be replaced with your company number.
If there is a block that is not in your list, the dwg can be added to the folder and it will be shown.
The same can be done if there is a block that is not needed, the dwg can then be removed from the folder and it will not be shown.
Blocks can have attributes in them, and which attributes that can be added to each unique block are described further down.
To read more about drawing attributes, click here.
Edit blocks
You can always edit a block in order to remove or move the attributes or change something with its style for instance a company logo.
Not all attributes can be added or removed in each block because this will lead to the block not working.
In each article below there will be a list which attributes that are necessary. All the possible attributes are already added to the blocks as well.
The GIF below is showing how it can look when editing blocks.
