Default Preloaded block Location?

What is the address where d-tools stores the standard blocks for say elevations, plan view, line, schematics drawings. I want to add new block to that location, so that I can change the blocks from the pull down d-tools menu.

sdsteve, I recommend that you make backups of the entire stencil directory before you make any modification. There are two locations to choose from:

1.) your machine
2.) the server

If you edit the stencils on you machine D-Tools will overwrite them the next time you lan sync however if you edit the ones on the server, the next person to lansync will get the new block whether or not you wanted them to.

On Windows XP (local machine) I believe the path is \documents and settings\all users\program data\D-Tools\SI5\Visualizations

Windows 7 is ProgramData\D-Tools\SI5\visualizations

The server is \\(your D-tools server name)\DToolsV5ProductShare\Visualizations

Just be careful, I would start by editing block locally and then when you are certain they work correctly copy them to the server.

Hope this helps
