Standardizing Shared AutoCAD Content in Vault: Blocks & XREF Libraries

AutoCAD teams rely on shared content every day — blocks, title blocks, standard details, XREFs — but without the right Vault structure, that shared content can quickly turn into duplicated files, broken references, and inconsistent designs.

In this KETIV Virtual Academy session, we’ll show you how to properly configure both an AutoCAD Block Library and an AutoCAD XREF Library Folder inside Autodesk Vault. You’ll learn how to centralize shared content, prevent duplicate file storage, control reference paths, and ensure every project points to the correct, approved files.

We’ll walk through how blocks and XREFs behave when checked into Vault, how to structure shared libraries, and what settings matter most for long-term scalability. Whether you’re cleaning up an existing environment or planning a new Vault implementation, this session will help you build a cleaner, more reliable foundation for AutoCAD collaboration.
