Can you create your own block library in draftSight
and set it up like a palette (like in Autocad) or a toolbar
or even a plug-in?
Thank you
Jef
Hello
No, that's one of the limitations of DraftSight!
There is no equivalent of the AutoCAD Design Center.
The easiest way is to create a DWG that you always keep open with all your blocks stored in different sheets (one for tapping, etc...)!

Thank you Lucas for your speed.
You seem to know this software well!!
Can you tell me more about the "customize" interface
The Option Menu - What is it for??
See attachment
Thank you

This menu will only be used to add custom icons when creating buttons (to launch a special function or script).
But you may be able to get around the palette problem, for example by making your DWG which contains all your tapping, then with a button (and a custom icon) launch this file directly.
You will then have to juggle between the 2 files with CTRL+TAB or reorganize the windows by the "Window > Mosaic" menu
Hello
This is possible if you buy the Premium version of DraftSight (see Dassault website), you will have the palette functions and the dev API, as well as pre-existing bibs.

@Coyote : you have the premium version and there's the palette?
Because according to this link:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/I-am-currently-testing-Draftsight-125991.S.5852226871562874880
He tests the premium one and says that there is no Toolpalette!
On the other hand, we have access to APIs that allow scripts.
For your information, a trial version of the Premium version is available, I signed up for it:
