How can I view or browse quickly a huge number of details, about 3500 autocad blocks? these are details I use in my work that I have in a single directory. every time I need one I use autocad open file to browse the details in the adjacent small preview window. I would to find a better way of seeing these details on a full screen with the ability and the flexibility to scan them fast in a difrent ways. i.e. I would like to be able to see on full screen lets say, one, two, four, or more details at a time but very quikly. I am willing to use a seperate viewing program if it exists.

thanks for your help

DESIGN CENTER (ADCENTER)

You would do well to separate the directory into subdirectories that contain similar blocks.
 
what is the "DESIGN CENTER (ADCENTER)" ?
I am not familiar with it.

thanks again

What version of AutoCAD are you running?
 
we use Autocad 2000

I skipped 2000, went from 14 to 2002. But if it's the same as 2002, key-in ADCENTER and press enter. A dialog box will come up with a directory structure in one pane and previews in the other. Right-click on the dialog box to adjust settings.
