AutoCad :: Create Lookup Parameter And Add All Of Necessary Parameters
Feb 22, 2012
I am currently working in AutoCAD 2012 and have been creating dynamic blocks for a while now.What i am running into is this: When i create a Look up Parameter and add all of the necessary parameters (flip1, flip2, visibility and distance) to the block, it acts as it should. However, when i select the LH or the RH look up state the check mark defaults back to the "Default" state. If the "LH (Reversed)" or the "RH (Reversed)" state is selected, the check mark will stay on the selected state.
In AutoCAD 2009 i know that if you set the "Custom" look up state (found at the bottom of the look up window) to the first listed state, it will correct this issue. But in 2012 this is not the case.

I want to reference parameters in an iRule in such a way that the value of parameter A determines the value of parameter b.
In this case i want to reference the dimensional height of a UC beam into a parameter <UC_HEIGHT> and then allow this to determine the value of uc designation size in a parameter <UC_DESIGNATION>
This would be useful because instead of typing the uc designation of a beam into the part description or matl. list i can just reference a parameter.
Is this possible? Iv tried an iRule along the lines of
if parameter (uc height) = xxx.x then parameter (uc designation) = 'custom test'
but get error messages

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.
Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

Does the IV2012 API allow the creation of a Yes/No parameter. I have created "Text" parameters but I am stumped on this one.

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.

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 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.

I have in the past needed to create filters that had both a positive AND a negative in the parameters.
One of my most common examples: Layers in a specific XRef with names that do not contain specific string.
I tried XRefName|*[~anno]* and it gave me ALL the layers from the XRef (including the ones with anno in the name).
I also tried XRefName|*~anno* and it didn't list ANY layers.
It it possible to do this? I've read throught the docs on using wildcards in the filter properties but don't see anything.

How to create a sub-assembly with an insertion point parameter using Sub-assembly composer.
like this one below. I found this under the following sub-assembly. All I want is , when the user inserting the sub-assembly they may need to go on both the sides attached.
Example:
So the user should be able to select from the dropdown if the insertion point is 1 or 2. Before inserting.

Macro for writing the sheetmetal Extents width and length to the custom properties. I need to get these values into the part parameters so that they can be used in the BOM.
I can get this to work if I manually create the "SM_Length" user parameter, but how do I make the iLogic CREATE the parameters if they do not already exist? I think it would be something added below the "Catch..." just cant seem to figure out what it needs to be.
'look for custom iproperty and try to set it
Try
iProperties.Value("Custom", sExtLength)=Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength, iRoundValue)
Parameter("SM_Length")=Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength,4)
Catch
' assume error means not found and create it
customPropertySet.Add(Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength,iRoundValue), sExtLength)
EndTry

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?

in iParts factory I would like to create part ## by setting common name and adding to it different values drawn from part parameters.
Please refer to attached image – common name in that example would be “DRILL” and description of the diameter and length automatically taken from parameters in columns “DRILL_D” & “INSERT_L”.

I am able to get the parameter to appear on the project information tab, but I cannot get the information to appear on the sheet. I would like to create a phase parameter on the sheet so that different projects under the same building will be specific to the project and not just the building.

Im wondering if its possible to link either a constraint dimension to an action parameter or vice versa. Or using a linear parameter's value in an user parameter formula.
Its a 2D cylinder, for winding purposes we just have a rectangle, with a distance from the Y axis for radial.
Parametric dimensions: B=thickness, C=Lenght, R=radius
User parameter: A=Diameter (R*2), Mass in kg ((((pi*(c*b))*(A+B))*1.25)/1000)/1000
For the BOM, i need A, B, C & mass
For drawing references for peoples on the floor, to distinquish a cylinder from a stick, we put lines at the top and bottom of the cylinder, 1mm distance inbetween them.
I figured that making a linear parameter + stretch on the thickness to replace the B parametric dimension, allowed me to make an array of that line, with increments of 1mm as i stretch the cylinder. The thing is that the mass formula cant take the value of action parameters....
Other alternative is to keep the B parametric dimension, and add a linear parameter as above for the array. But then i have 2 places to adjust, and from a test i made, if i change the R dimension, the linear one does not follow. Its very frustrating.
What i was hoping autocad would be able to do is distance1 for array to be same as B dimension, but it does not allow me to do that, unless im missing something.

Ok over the past few weeks I've got pretty much most of the Dynamic Block stuff down except this feature.
I've attached a drawing. In the middle I used VISIBILITY to have all the different weld types. I need something at the end to where Weld Tails can be added if they're needed but you can only use one Visibility per block. I'm also going to need something at the front of the block for different symbols like "Field Weld" and "All Available". If I can figure the Tails out then I can do the other one.

I want to create an custom parameter like "button" under my object parameters or in attribute holder and i want this button run a simple code/script for me.
for example: linking Box1 to Box2
$.parent = $Box002
I know how to work with "wire parameter" and "parameter editor" but the problem is that i cant find any way to tell them to run this script with that parameter.

I have created a dynamic block and have applied some lookup tables to it but its not working just the way I want it. I think its to do with the custom entry on the lookup tables. If I delete the custom entry when i select the block in model space the drop down select box to allow me choose a selection is no longer available. How can I remove the custom entry and still have the block working normally. I've attached the block.
