creation and block insertion

[dicifa]

Bye to all,
I have this problem...

I have to create centinates of details that but inside have an equal shape for everyone (recommended needle several times in the same detail and unusable series)...I tried to create a block with autocad but every time I insert it I have to do "diagnostic sketch" and lose precious time. I saw that you can directly create a sketch block in inventor but I don't understand where the block is saved to import it to other parts.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

you can do the "copy and paste" (dx button on the block in the side browser when defined) of the block aside: However the blocks will all be disconnected between them, in the sense that if then change the block in part1 that in part2 does not change.

I don't think better.
Bye!

una i-feature ?

forget autocad first!!
You don't need to know where to save the blocks:
you make a .ipt file with the only sketch of common geometries (practically your block).
then do a file where the file comes first with the sketch and then continue the work.
you can then do a "Save by name" of this second file for all the parts you need.
they will always refer to the file with the sketch, so if you change this, all derivatives will also be changed. .

I take this post because I'm beginning to create a library of what I need.
in detail I am looking for the best way to create a profile with some holes that will always be equal dimensionally but will be realized in more details. to understand a flange attack, with a profile that will be extruded, a central hole and 4 threaded holes.
What is the best tool to do that?
an i-feature? can you make sure that the height of the extrusion of the profile is defined?
better the i-feature of the profile more other for drilling or a unique i-feature that contains all the processing?

If I used a sketch to drift, it creates problems with positioning, right? will always be placed as in the file of origin?

Thank you.

I raise the question, I wrote in this post to avoid creating another one on topics already dealt with but perhaps it has escaped
