AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block Parameter Linking?
Dec 6, 2012
I was wondering if there is a way to link one parameter to another. What i'm doing is creating a theater flat block that has adjustable length and width. There are support members that are needed when it gets big enough. Right now i have them set to a Visability parameter and have to select to turn them on and off in model space. Is there a way to link the Visability so that it changes based on the Linear Distance parameter's lenth?

I have a block that I'm trying to convert for dynamic use.
In the first image, you'll see the items that I want to have rotatable in blue. The items in red should NOT rotate. That part seems to work fine. But the items that do rotate don't behave as expected.
I created the rotate parameter selecting the center of the red circle as the base point. Shouldn't that cause ALL the items to rotate about that center point?
As you'll see from the second image, the blue line rotates about some other point.
EDIT: Well I guess it only does it if I have the blue horizontal line defined with a length constraint. I also need to have that line dynamic--I need to make it longer/shorter.
I've attached a dwg file with the block in it--it's at the top of the block list (___SectMark2).

I am wondering if you can set a parameter in a dynamic block in to a visibility layer. Is this possible?

I have created d/blocks for my different pipe sizes i.e one block with a dropdown to select the different sizes and have done the same for my flanges. now how do I link / insert the flange d/block to the piping block so that I can export the information into a material list later on.

My drawing- block is a little bit complicated, it contains few actions and parameters and everytime i open block editor to add, or to modify some action I can't see my drawing because actions grips and parameters grips obscure my drawing. I tried to refresh layout but it doesn't work.
please take a look on attached jpg.

I need to know where to look to find if a point parameter is visible the the current visibility state of the dynamic block reference.

I am making a simple continuation block (attached) and I am trying to get it to have a rotation parameter along the polyline. I am able to do that, but the only issue is the flip parameter goes all weird when I do so (the text starts distancing itself from the polyline when stretched, rotated and flipped).

Getting into Dynamic Blocks in a big way. As the blocks we use are variants of each other, if the parameters that are created in one block can be copied into another block to save having to re-do the entire parameter sets again.

We have some dnyamic block share set of parameters, if we change a parameter's value, all block that reference this parameter should be change.we can do it by program.
but create user parameters for a dynamic block must be by hand, can we create a user parameter by code? another way is user global parameter. does AutoCAD Parametric function's user value can be share with dynamic block?

I am attaching a rotate parameter and action to a dynamic block.
I get the "Specify base point" bit okay but I can't figure out what "Specify radius of parameter" does.
Do I have to include or exclude other parameters like Flip or Stretch? I get some weird results when I rotate an object with other parameters.
Is it possible to place the Grip in a specific place? It always seems to like to sit on top of another parameter name.

I would like to add a new (user) parameter to a dynamic block within my code. I have noticed that this is possible manually. But couldn't find how to do this in .Net. When this parameter has been created it would be necessary to fill in a value. So the parameter can either be a general parameter, that can be adjusted later or a (user/dynamic) parameter specific for the block.

Wondering if there was a way to have text maintain a rotation angle of 0 while being included in a rotation parameter. I am wanting the "N" for my North Arrow to follow the direction of the symbol of my viewport tag without the "N" character rotation angle changing with it.

The "Main Stretch" parameter does not correspond with the Block Properties Table. What does this parameter need to be attached to?The paramter will adjust with the pull down options of the Block Properties Table.

Is it possible to make a dynamical block where the attribute is horizontal in combination of the alignment parameter (not rotate)? If I align to an arc the attribute need to stay at an horizontal position.

I have an interior elevation callout block with four arrows, noting the N, S, E, W interior wall elevations. I trick I use to rotate Text while keeping the Text oriented in the upright position is to place a Point Parameter at the center of the text then set the "Chain Actions" to Yes. Then I use the Move Action to tie the text to the Point Parameter. Next step is to use a Rotation Action to select only the Point Parameter, which rotates the Point Parameter and brings the text along with it, keeping the text oriented in the upright reading position always. As an example, think about a viewport tag with a North arrow, and the letter "N" at the arrow tip. When you rotate the arrow, the "N" position rotates with the arrow's point but always is oriented upright.

I have a block of a circle and a line coming from the left and right side quadrant of the circle to a common point (see pic). I want to create a dynamic block using a Stretch and Rotate parameter. You select the block, the Rotate point (grip) shows at the end of the two lines. I can grab that grip and rotate both lines and circle by moving this point around the screen, but cannot Stretch this point to a new location at the same time. How can I have the Rotation end point follow the Stretch parameter?

how (if) I can set up my dynamic blocks so that I can set the parameter values as I insert the block, rather than with the grips afterwards?
To take a simple example; I have a block consisting of a rectangle, with 2 linear stretch parameters - length, width. Can I set it up so that when I insert the block, it asks for the length and breadth,just as it would for attributes.

I'm trying to create a dynamic block that uses a parameter and an attribute definition to determine the diameter of a circle in that block. I plan to export GIS points with diameter in the attribute table into a CAD file with the block definition. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the parameters to read to attribute definition and adjust the circle diameter. Using AutoCAD 2013

I have this Dynamic Block which has a few distance parameters on it and an attribute at beginning of each parameter which are attached to a stretch action. If manually bring the block in. And set a value to attribute and then stretch the it , attribute move along with action. But when I do it pragmatically it doesn't . Basically attribute stays at original location of original block before stretch. What is wrong with my code. Or Shall I do something to Attributes when I change the distance parameters in Program? I don't know .
I have a function which bring the block in and set attribute first and then another call which change the distance . So I don't show the first function which to me works fine . The problem is this part.
For Each myBRP As DynamicBlockReferenceProperty In myBRC
For I = 1 To NumbderOfDistanceParamsinDynBlk
If myBRP.PropertyName = "Distance" & Trim(i.ToString) Then
myBRP.Value = DynDistancevalue(i)
End If
Next

I have created a dynamic block with a stretch, flip and rotate. Everything works great in its file. When I insert it in another file, the grips move but the block does not change.

I have this block (see attachment) with three attributes and a visibility parameter that I want to hide one, two or all attributes. It works well while I'm in the block editor but it will not work properly when used in the drawing. The option of "Point only" does not hide all attributes of some reason.

I am trying to have my block with different visibility options but i don't want a long list to choose from under one parameter. If I did what I am wanting to in one visibility it would be a very long list of different combination options. The list would have 16 different options. Is there a way to have multiple visibility parameters?

I have a block that has been already established. i added another line of attribute. how do i make the new attribute associate with the 'move' parameter that has been set with the old attributes?
All this is created in block editor.

When I use visibility of dynamic block, I found it's a great feature. But when I have more objects involved in it there will be too many states.
If we have 'visibility action' beside 'visibility set' maybe it will make thing better, when use it with lookup table. Each visibility action can has it's own set of objects. Put actions in lookup table to hide and show the set combined with them.

We have a dynamic section marker block. You can flip it, rotate it and stretch it. Some of our drawings have a lot of them. For some instances of the block that are rotated, opening the drawing or inserting another copy of the block causes the fill in the arrow to move back to its original orientation (see images). The darn things even plot incorrectly.
Flipping the broken ones back and forth fixes them, but it is silly that a drafter would have to do that with each one.

I'm having is that this is happening with a dynamic block. I don't know how it got this way...some 'genius' in my office went into this file and screwed something up, and saved it...so now I'm left with the task of fixing it.
When I go into the block, it opens as a regular drawing, with a dynamic block inside of it...as opposed to opening in the block editor. I just need to know how to get this back to the way it should be, without having to redraw the entire thing from scratch. I made a few scrap-copies of the drawing to fool around with and I can't find a solution. I tried deleting the block and purging it, I tried exploding it, and I tried saving it directly from the block editor...nothing worked.

I am trying to make a dynamic block below. I need the "end" of the line to be "moveable". I've tried the point parameter and the stretch action with no luck.
