(Who likes really to draw every day 30 times a Hex Bolt 6x40 just because he need it every day 30 times. The goal is to us it only in this drawing or maybe in a limited form to use it via Paste© in other opened drawings.Ī library Item is considered to be used in many Drawings for Standardization or just to do the work once for a recurring (boring) task. How ever - in this case I like to consider that this tutorial should be called "How I create a Library Item" and not just a Block.Ī normal Block belongs only to the particular drawing.

Monitor Name: BenQ GC2870 on Intel UHD Graphics 630 There is no obvious reduction of performance using this setting. Please accept my grateful thanks for such a super-fast helpful reply. If no, this might be a Qt bug with retina / high-res display detection. To further improve the smoothness of the display, you can enable anti-aliasing on the same preferences page as well.
