How to Import block files into Library

Post by mlwoy » Tue Jul 01, 2025 7:49 pm

Operating System: Mac Sequoia V 15.5
QCad Pro: V 3.31.1

I have downloaded a group of blocks from a web site. How to I import these into the Library?
Using Apples "Finder" feature I have been unable to locate the Libray as I would like to "Drag & Drop" move the files to the library.

How do I get to the library?

Hi,

Not a macOS specialist myself.
Locating the plugin folder for removing Pro features is explained as:
  • Right-click on QCAD.app and click Show Package Contents
That should reveal the library folder too.

On the other hand you can store library items in any place.
Include this user path under Application Preferences .. Widgets .. Library Browser .. Library sources

Regards,
CVH
