Is it possible to create 3D dynamic block and export dimension data ? in detail I would like to create a pipe block, use it in a dwg with different length and export data in order to know sum of all blocks with different length.
As alternative, In case 3d dynamic block is not feasible, is it possible to export data to calculate dimension of 3D object?
I want to create a dynamic block that as I select my pick point to move it over it stretches the box, however at the same time it arays 2 other lines at the same time. The trick is I need the 2 lines that array to renceter them self within the overall box thats being strtched. To put this in exact teerms I'm looking to create a dynamic block of a reinforced concrete slab that you can stretch to the length you want and at teh same time the reinforcing sysmbeol (----- X-----) will array itself and recenter. Is this possible to do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have searched high and low and still could not find a tutorial to really explain how to create a drawing title with attributes (Detail Number, Sheet Number, Detail Title, Detail Scale). All I find are on creating dynamic block, which I could achieve, but I need one for a block that has (or will have) attributes.
I was able to find a tutorial on attributed door numbers, but it does not work for drawing titles that has attributes. GOAL: I would like to have all my seven drawing titles in one file and to be able to stretch the leg of any selected title to a desired length.
I am tying to create a Dynamic Block of a steel angle of multiple sizes and thickness. I used Dynamic Blocks before and live the idea of changing sizes on the fly with out having to delete and recreate an object.. I got as far as creating an angle of different sizes, i.e.. 4x4, 5x5, etc. and different thickness but can't get the thickness to work with the radius of the angle.

I've created the block, but it isn't working correctly. I've attached a drawing, with the left hand drawing a sketch of how it needs to be. The right hand drawing is my dynamic block attempt. As can be seen, when the block is stretched between the 2 points, it doesn't follow the angle of the staircase correctly (Very slight run off)

I am looking to create a dynamic block that changes in scale, ex. If I have two (2) viewports in paper space, one 1/4"=1'-0" the other 1/8"=1'-0" I want my blocks to appear to be the same size in paper space.
Also, I would like my blocks to change attributes/features ex. If I have a "light switch block" I would like to have the option of switching the block from a 3-way switch, 4-way switch etc.
I would like to create an "Y" dynamic block, see bellow.
The hole length and the "cross" point will be variable, between the two sticks will be 90 deg, and it will be FIX.
I would like if I change the "variable 2" distance the two sticks follow the cross point, and the top of the sticks stay in the same level, but between the sticks the 90 deg stay!
I am in the process of fixing one of our dynamic blocks. It's a fairly simple fix where there was a typo in one of the names of our items in the lookup that needed to be fixed.
I changed the name of the item in the lookup table. I went and did the test block and it seemed to work fine, but when I bring the block into a drawing, it reverts back to the old lookup as if I did nothing at all.
I made sure that the path was correct and I even just dragged and dropped straight from Windows Explorer to no avail.Does AutoCAD keep referring to the old block? Did I forget to change something else?
my problem is whenever i make a new block a stretch point appears even if its not a dynamic block . also its not a stretch point, because when i click on it, it just move the block , and it always appear on the coordinates 0,0 it cause me a problem when I insert the block , autocad use this point as a base point , and its very far from the real block .

I am trying to create a dynamic block library but can't quite seem to get it right.
The only dynamic feature I need to use right now is visibility states so i'm sure it's something simple that i'm just not seeing, but I thought I would ask everyone's opinion on the best way to do it.
What I am trying to do is set up a full common library on our network that our whole team uses. At the moment we all have our own block library which can sometimes cause problems. The file location / folder set up etc is sorted out but it's the actual blocks which are making life hard for me as until now we haven't really used dynamic blocks.
The only way i've been able to get the blocks where I want them so far ends up in a 'double block' meaning the block itself becomes a block again once I write it to the desired folder. This works but is not ideal as I can't get the vis state drop down menu by clicking on the block and have to edit the parent block to change the vis state.
Basically I have no problem creating the exact dynamic block I need, and no problem with a location to store them, it's more storing them that's giving me a headache.

I have created a drawing border block for my users to insert into their drawings. Within the block there are dynamic blocks which have visibilty states. However when you insert the border block with the dynamic ones you can't do anything with them? Is there anyway of making the border 'flexible' or something so that it maintains the fact that it is a block with all the attributes but you can use the embedded dynamic ones. Other than the obvious edit block in place or block editor?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with multiple instances of a dynamic block. I have a second drawing with said block modified.
I want the first drawing's block to be updated to the modified block without reinserting each block separately.
I don't have the block as a separate file to "insert", only available to copy. With it being dynamic, I don't trust using the block editor and just copy/paste from the modified into the original.
Is there a way to redefine the block?

I have to create a dynamic block for our overhead cupboards. I've tried to do it myself but the solution is not forth coming and the brain is starting to hurt. I've attached a drawing to better illustrate what i want to do. It has the old style doors but i will create a new DB for the new style.
The OHC will be inserted with the top left point. I then want to stretch the top right point to the appropriate length and have the 3 doors stretch equally. The gap between the doors will be 22mm and must not change. The end gaps will vary because of door size but will stay within 31.2 mm to 32.7 mm (As close to 32mm as possible). Also the rh edge of the water level gauges need to be 58mm from the rh door edge.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a dynamic block with several different visibility states and for each visibility state I have created an attribute. Each attribute has a different text style because I need the size of the text to change when I change the visibility state. But on the model space I can only see and edit te attribute in one of the visibility states. How to create a block that allows me to see different attributes in different visibility states or that alows me to change the text stryle of the attribute acording to the visibility state?

My Objective: To insert a single light switch plate block into a drawing and have the ability to stretch the block to increase the number of switches from 1 to as many as 10 in a gang style. The light switch box would do a basic stretch, but I just can't figure out how to increase the number of switches as the block increases in width.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a trick in using a dynamic block in a table cell? When a dynamic block is inserted into a cell, any visibility can be viewed (Properties Manager) in that cell if the visibility state has a block in it. What happens if the visibility state does not have a block. That is, if the view has exploded block so one can use parts in actions etc? Can I view ANY state in a cell regardless if it has a block or not? Or must the visibility states have blocks to be able to use it in the table cell?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor my AutoCAD class we are supposed to make a dynamic block of a basic theater flat which we can then stretch into different sizes. I was able to do the vertical stretch no problem, but when it comes to the horizontal stretch, the lines do more of a move action then stretching. I have redone it several times but it still won't stretch properly.
