AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretch Dynamic Block Grip Points
Feb 4, 2011I 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 :: Hatch In Dynamic Blocks With Stretch Action
Jul 15, 2013I 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 :: Stretch A Block In Two Directions
Dec 12, 2013I 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 :: Stretch / Move / Array Block
Jul 31, 2012I need this block to do the following:
1. Move the right piece so it ends at 3', 4', & 5'.
2. the move right hook and 'backing' to stretch/copy (or array) so it adds a hook to the right and fills in the backing.
so this means that a 3' gets 4 hooks, 4' gets 5 hooks and 5' gets 6 hooks.
3. the block as shown is the smallest configuration with 3 hooks.
I could just set up a visibility and draw each one at it's appropriate length but I'm trying to keep this simple block to a min size. If all else fails, that's the route I'll take.
I've tried a couple different configurations and I keep getting duplicates or the end piece doesn't move the correct distance.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Polar Stretch With A Arrow Like Block
Jul 13, 2013I am trying to put a polar stretch on the block uploaded, but it doesn't seems to work (maybe because of my constraint? ). If something major is wrong with it, is there another way I can make the same drawing proportional when i rotate it and stretch it ? Also, after that I have to use it for vlisp.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Dynamic Stretch Grip Gets Offset
Apr 4, 2012Is 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 :: Link Dynamic Block Custom Rotation Action
Mar 22, 2013So 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 :: Moving Properties Table Grip In Dynamic Block
Jun 13, 2013I have a dynamic block, that represents a stirrup.
I inserted in the block a Block Propreties Table, that have some preset dimensions for the stirrups. The grip of this table I decided to put in the top right corner.
The problem is that I can't make this grip moveable )
See the attachement with the block
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Flipping Dynamic Block With Multiple Items Not Visible
Jul 25, 2012new to dynamic blocks but looking to streamline my wiring diagrams here and have created a block that shows the typical wire styles we use in a simple easy way. I now want to add an overall flip to the entire block and have not been able to find set this. I would prefer to use the same label and go from there. I have included the block to show what I mean. It is only working on the single visible item at the one time. I know this has to be possible just let me know what I am doing wrong. I am running AutoCad LT 2013

Feb 28, 2012I need to create a dynamic block for a "Glass Panel" in a balustrade. I need to be able to insert it, in one corner and stretch it in another corner, to suit the staircase 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)
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Insertion Point Of Attribute Changing Within Dynamic Block
Nov 21, 2011I wish to create a dynamic block containing some attributes. These attributes are inside rectangles that can't be modified in length using linear parameters ; but the attribute has to be always in the middle of the rectangle. So, I draw a line inside the rectangle (in a hidden layer) and insert the attribute with center justification (not sure for the translation) that I place in the middle of this line ; then I put a coincidence constraint (not sure for the translation, but it's the first one) linking the middle of the line with the middle of the attribute.
But here's the problem : when stretching my rectangle, the insertion point of the attribute suddenly changes from "center" to "bottom left".
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Pass Attribute Values To Dynamic Block Parameters?
Dec 4, 2013I am looking for a way to use the ATTIN/ATTOUT workflow to bring in data from an excel spreadsheet to drive the size of each of my block's instances. The block will be simple, a rectangle, with width and length parameters. For each entity in my excel/csv file these parameter values are spelled out. I know how to display these parameters in my attributes, but I don't know how, if I were to feed in these values, to drive the geometry. If there's a better way to take a list of width and length values to generate a series of blocks each with a rectangle containing its respective size.

Nov 7, 2011I need to do some repetitive task on a lot of dynamic blocks, unfortunately, when I open each file, AutoCAD keeps asking if I want to open it with the block editor.
Is there a way to disable that dialog and open the files as normal dwgs?
A hint: BLOCKEDITLOCK doesn't make it, it shows another dialog...
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Make Dynamic Block Of Column Radiator
Mar 26, 2012I'm trying to make a dynamic block of a column radiator.
It should be very simple. It's a 46mm wide module that comes in a range of heights (300, 500, 600, & 750mm) and a range of assembly widths (9, 13, 18, 22 & 27 modules wide - more commonly given as mm widths of 414, 598, 828, 1012 & 1242 respectively).
My attempt at constructing it has gone quite well, but when 'stretching' the block a ghost of the core 414 (w) x 300 (h) unit remains. I attach the block to give you a better idea of what I mean.
AutoCad :: Insert Dynamic Block From File With Multiple Dynamic Blocks
Jul 16, 2010I have a drawing ("SURUBURI.dwg") with several dynamic blocks ("M12", "M16", "M18" ... an so on...). I want to insert in my current drawing, one of the blocks from SURUBURI.dwg, for instance the block named "M12".
For that i tried creating a new command "INSERT_M12" that has the following script :
^C^C-INSERT; "I:/Ionut Mihaila/Goodies/SURUBURI.dwg/M12"
Now obvious that doesn't work, but i think it shows clearly what i want to accomplish. So is there an other way to do this?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Grip Point Dynamic Block
Nov 15, 2012I have a dynamic block with several actions and parameters. There are three grip points. Two are visible. One appears when you move one of the other grips. If i insert or paste this block near my template, the X/Y basepoint stays near the template when i drag the block on the template with one of the other two grips.. When i print the drawing the basepoint stays visible and the scale on my printed drawing is not correct (smaller).

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Mirrored Rotation Dynamic Block
Jun 14, 2012Is it possible to mirror a rotation within a dynamic block?
See the attached drawing. I am trying to have two rotations within a dynamic block, but only one grip. When the grip is rotated one half of the block rotates while the other half rotates in reverse. The resulting action would be much like the wings of a butterfly.
I have tried many different combinations of parameters, actions and constraints with no luck. The block in the attached file was as close as I could get. Have I reached the end of what AutoCAD is capable of?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Selecting A Edited Dynamic Block?
Mar 28, 2011I have the attached file as a dynamic block.
Last week I opened the drawing and added some visibilty states etc. to the block.
Now when I open the block or insert it into another drawing for whatever reason the cursor or crosshairs stop at the edge of the block. And if you move towards the middle of the block where there isn't any lines etc. the cursor will move to that point until you hit another line then it will stop moving again.
I've been reading some other posts for different dynamic block topics/issues and read that everyone has problems when you get to higher numbers of visibility states, but when I edited last week I only added 7 states. Is that enough to make this happen? It sounds like everyone else that is having problems has far fewer visibility states than on the attached drawing.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Moving Dynamic Block With Attributes
Dec 19, 2011I made a dynamic block with attributes. The block was to be moved using Linear parameter + move action, and then a lookup parameter and action.
The block moves as it is suppose to but the attributes are left behind. How can I get the attributes to move with the dynamic block?
The attribute properties are:
Verify = Yes.
Lock position: Yes or No don't seem to make a difference.
Is this a bug in AutoCAD or is there a solution to this?
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Create A Dynamic Block That Changes In Scale
Jul 27, 2011I 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.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Piping Dynamic Block
Oct 6, 2011The block is a piping with various links that back together and they should stay behind each other, they are not go over each other otherwise the spacing is not good after data extraction.
The distance between not less than 100 mm and the total length should not exceed 5000mm are. Furthermore, they are relatively movable from each other.
I've been working with linear parameters and constraints, but that's not good as far as I know I can not apply visibility later with links that point to the other side.
