Overview

Your design requires a specific lighting fixture, and your deadline is getting dangerously close. Rather than drawing content from scratch, use Autodesk i-drop® technology to bring predesigned contentˇXlike furniture, fixtures, and texturesˇXfrom the Web directly into your drawings. Itˇ¦s fast and convenient, and helps ensure greater drawing efficiency. And now with the i-drop Enhancer Extension, you get even more design productivity with additional options in the same handy i-drop package. The new benefits are as follows:

  • Multiple types of i-drop contentˇXWith the new right mouse button drag-and-drop functionality, you have the flexibility of choosing between different available content types, for example AutoCAD® blocks or Autodesk® Architectural Desktop styles.

  • Associated data filesˇXDo you need an order form to go with your i-drop content? No problem. Manufacturers can now bundle all associated data files such as part numbers and pricing information with the i-drop content in one single drag-and-drop operation. Available in the new right mouse button drag-and-drop functionality.

  • URL hyperlink and history logˇXDo you remember each time and place you get i-drop content from the Web? With the i-drop Enhancer Extension you donˇ¦t have to. It automatically tags dropped content with a source URL or web location specified by the content provider, and provides you with a history log of the what, where, and when of all your i-drop activities.

  • Shortcut MenuˇXBefore you drag content, right-click once on the object to view the shortcut menu. This way, you can choose to view the i-drop package XML source code, get help, or see the i-drop technology About box.
