AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch Action With 3D Object

May 9, 2013

I would like to stretch my extruded shelf using a list of value settings.

I completed the steps in block edit but it will only allow my object to move to my value sets.

In 2D I have no issue.

What am I missing when modifying 3D objects.

See attached blocks.

AutoCad :: Hatch In Dynamic Blocks With Stretch Action

Jul 15, 2013

I foolishly thought i'd sorted making hatch work within a dynamic block that requires user input to set length and width of block...the hatch would fill to the revised size when the user sets the length and width in the properties dialogue...woohoo. Off I go home from work having defeated the nemesis of the day.

Open up my drawing today and can I get the hatch to act as it did yesterday?

I built my block (a simple rectangle all told) added my parameters in block editor. length and width linear actions with 0 grips as I don't want stretching by grips. Added the stretch actions. Tested the block (without hatch)...working. Only then did I hatch, so into block editor and using associative, send to back, normal island detection and selecting the rectangle to hatch. tested block ...working. great. Inserted the block into new drawing...working.

Opened AutoCAD today...Not working...hatch remaining as original size

Tried building new block exactly as I did yesterday...no joy...

On a side note...it works if I leave grips on but only if I use the grips to activate the hatch (it still doesn't work by just typing into properties though) that's not going to cut it as I don't want to be telling everyone to wiggle the grips so to speak.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: DB Stretch Action Isn't Working Correctly

Oct 4, 2013

I cleaned up my block and I am trying to use a field to reference a polyline for it's overall distance. The distance changes with my lookup action. After rotating and going back and forth from "On" - "Off" - "Both Off", then back to "On", the red polyline doesn't stretch back on it's original plane.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Associate Stretch Action With Length Of Attribute Value

Jun 23, 2011

is there a way to associate a stretch action with the length of an attribute value (i.e. # of characters in the string) or is this something left to vlisp?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Linking Stretch Action Distance To Attribute Value

Dec 3, 2012

I have a block which is a simple rectangle with a height and width attributes that when I edit, change or update the height and width attributes I want the rectangles height and width to change as well.

I know I can go backwards using fields and the attributes would show the stretched length and width but is it possible to go the other way?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Parameters With Stretch Action On Objects Which Are Shared In Visibility States

Oct 18, 2011

I have a block which I want 2 visibility states.  VS1 and VS2 share some objects and not others.  I have a linear parameter in each which I want to do a stretch action on.  The stretch action in each visibility state acts upon entities both shared and unshared between VS1 and VS2.  This doesn't seem to work..

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Level Symbol - Create Point Attached To The End Of Text And Apply Stretch

Apr 5, 2012

I would like to create an dynamic block to a level symbol, with a parameter that aligns the length of the line under the text with the text end.

I attached an jpg image with an example.

I thing the key element is to create an point that is attached to the end of the text and apply an stretch to it, but I didn't succeed.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch Dynamic Block Grip Points

Feb 4, 2011

I have successfully created a dynamic block. I can insert it into AutoCAD, and it behaves like I want, except for one thing.

I can select the block and change it by taking a grippoint and place it at another position. So my block is e.q. stretched, just like I wanted.

But then. When I want to use the ordinary STRETCH command of AutoCAD, I can only stretch the insertion point of the block, but not the grippoints. Is there a way to set a grippoint to be select edable by commands like STRETCH.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Dynamic Stretch Grip Gets Offset

Apr 4, 2012

Is there a way to have the grip stay in the correct position when the distance multiplier is .5? It seems to "get ahead" of the original location.

In the attached block, when I stretch the block with the grip, the grip ends up off the end point.  Both actions have a .5 multiplier, with the left side having a rotation of 180 - so both sides stretch equally in opposite directions.

Also, there are 3 views with parameters (width/depth). Is there a way to get the user to enter in the sizes without having to select the size on each view? Basically a table that has a 'user input' field so the size selected changes everything at one time.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Adding One Action To Dynamic Blocks

Mar 15, 2012

I have created a dynamic block with several visiblility states. The block works great for what I need it for. however, I am trying to add one more action to the block but am having issues.

This block is essentially a 24" retail cabinet with the visibility states showing the different drawer and shelf configurations. I want to be able to lengthen the cabinet in 24" increments and have the visibility show for each 24" section.....e.g.  I want a 10' cabinet so I bring in the 24" starter block. Then stretch the cabinet to the 10' mark, then I can chose any drawer/shelve config for each 24" section (they are all different).

I can get the block to stretch in 24" sections....no problem.....i just want the visibility state to be duplicated as well for each section. Now as it stretches, there is only one Vis state and it only populates the first cabinet.

I could do this by copying the block over and over 5 times.....but I am hoping there is a way to make this dynamic.

AutoCAD .NET :: Explode Dynamic Block With Stretch Action

Dec 4, 2013

In my Project I build a static Block by inserting dynamic blocks from a template dwg and then explode them.

Actually I create a new Data Base, insert the blocks from my template, set the according Dynamic Properties, Explode the Block in the temp DB and then wblockclone the resulting Objects in my destination BlockTableRecord.

This works fine, but:

in my source dyn. block there is an associative surface defined by a Polyline(Rectangle) , attached a stretch action to change the size. I can set the Width parameter, after the Explode the polyline itself is updated, but the planar surface is not... so if I explode this block I get a well stretched Polyline and the "base" surface.

Manipulating the dynamic Block works fine... If I have stretched 3D-Meshes, they are ok as well. It seems to be something with the planar surface object.
 
Dim objs As New DBObjectCollection idsToImport.Clear() If Helpers.Registry.GetValueFromRegistry("ExplodeSubs").ToString = "1" Then ' debug switch bref.Explode(objs) 'the dyn BlockRef in the external (temp) Database bref.Erase(True) For Each [code].......

AutoCad 2D :: Not Displaying Length With Stretch Action In Dynamic Block

Aug 25, 2011

I use dynamic blocks a lot of the time and most of them have a stretch action in them. What used to happen would be that whenever I clicked on the block I wanted to adjust and then clicked on the stretch action, it would show the distance from the base point and I was able to type in the new length of the object I was stretching. But now whenever I click on the stretch action, it shows that the current length is 0 and it is asking for the distance from the current point, not the base point. How can I change it so that it is always just the distance from the base point?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Link Dynamic Block Custom Rotation Action

Mar 22, 2013

So I've done a reasonable amount of work with dynamic blocks. I have a block with a rotation action and grip to arbitrarily align it.  However I realized when trying to combine it with an alignment grip (which actions on the basic or fundamental block rotation angle) that there didn't seem to be a way to some how link a dynamic block rotation action or one of the custom angle properties to a the fundamental block rotation angle.  Thus there are two additive rotations at work; the dynamic block one with its grip and the fundamental rotation property.

This can cause some confusion when one person aligns with the grip and another via rotating the block's fundamental property and would also be problematic in the generalized sense if one was trying to select or programmatically read back the net angle alignment.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Incremental Stretch Value

Nov 20, 2013

I've created a dynamic block with listed increments e.g. 36, 42, 48 inches width. The dynamic window block that comes with autocad has the same incremental stretch.

This block shows the tick marks as well as a the value in a dynamic input box. How can I have the value displayed in my custom dynamic block. All I have is the "tick" marks.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch Or Array (JPG)

Oct 30, 2013

I have been working on a dynamic block that need to look like the attached jpg. Basically it needs to be able to stretch up to 50'-0" but in ten foot segments (part size limits) +/- an additional but in 1 foot increments.

I've got two blocks that will either array or stretch. But have not been able to get it to match the actual requirements. I have attached my current block attempt. Also as you can see from the jpg, the support posts usually alternate as well and I haven't figured that out yet either .

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Keep Dot In Center Even After A Stretch

Mar 23, 2012

Attached is a block that I am using for Finish plans.  Basically how it works is that it is suppose to be inserted and then stretched to indicate a finish change in the floor.  When I insert it and stretch it, it works exactly as I want it, but when the scale is changed, the center tag resets to the original center before the block is stretched.  I would like it to stay in the center relative to the line that is stretched.

Not sure if you understand, but if you are good with dynamic blocks. You will notice that the dot is annotative where as the line that stretchs is not.  I cant have the line change because it will be stretched between two areas with different floor finishes and that will stay consistant.  I want the block to adjust so that it is the same size on all the scales of the drawing.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch A Block In Two Directions

Dec 12, 2013

I have drawn a simple block that I want to stretch in two directions manually or from the properties palatte.

My block works fine once and then breaks down.  Stretch the block in the 'Y' direction. Deselect the block. Stretch the block again and only the grip moves. Edit the block and close the block, the block resets.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Link Rotation With Stretch

Nov 23, 2011

if it's possible to link a rotation with a stretching action. I have a text (or an attribute) inside a box that can be stretched. But if the box becomes too small to hold the text horizontally, I would like that the text automatically rotate vertically without any other action that stretching the box. If that is possible, is it also possible that instead of a text, there's an attribute, and that it rotates according to the attribute's length ?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch From Insertion Point

Jan 11, 2012

I created a dynamic block with a polar stretch. I insert the block, then have to select the grip to rotate/stretch it. Can it be inserted and then rotated/stretched all in one action? The insertion point is at one of the line and the polar stretch grip is at the other end.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Linear Stretch Max Distance

Sep 28, 2013

I have a linear stretch D1:

Distance Type: Increment

Dist Increment: 1
Dist Minimum: 1
Dist Maximum: unlimited

I also have a linear stretch D2:

Distance Type: Increment
Dist Increment: 1
Dist Minimum: 1
Dist Maximum: is it possible to set the maximum distance to equal D1-2.5??

Both linear stretch D1 and D2 can be stretched independently. So D1 may be stretched to 100, and D2 may be stretched to 50, but what I am trying to do is ensure that D2 will never stretch beyond the distance of D1.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Use Dynamic Blocks To Stretch A Rectangle Using Only 1 Point

May 22, 2013

I was wondering if it is possible to use dynamic blocks to stretch a rectangle evenly, using only 1 point? I have attached a PDF of a rectangle with 2 lines coming out of each side (before & after picture). I want to use dynamic blocks to pick a point at the top right of the block, so that when I pull it out, the lines will extend, but stay attached to the rectangle. I also what the rectangle to stay in the center at all times.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Multiple Stretch Parameters

Oct 18, 2012

See the dwg attached.

I'd like to modify a dynamic door block I've created so that I can stretch by door leaf size OR structural opening size, but I'm not sure how to do this.

Incidentally, I think the block has some flaws:

- I think the 'center/flip point' is not exactly in the center!
- The frame size should be 40mm, not 32mm
- The packing zone should be 30mm, not 6.38mm!
