AutoCad :: Can Dynamic Blocks Be Made To Add Or Delete Parts Based On Length
Jan 4, 2012in order to streamline some of my duties i wonder if theres a way to have a dynamic block not only that can change it's length and the dimension for that length (easy) but will also add features to the part. For example can one be made that when stretching its length that once it reaches a certain length automatically split into two sections and keep those 2 sections equal? Also can it be made to contain a tag that keeps track of the lengths as well as number of joints between sections multiplied by a constant?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pre-made Saved Text Blocks To Insert Into Drawings?
Feb 2, 2012Basically we have a number of different procedures that need to be written in each drawing. Each drawing uses one of 5 or so procedures. Usually we type it out every time which is a pain or copy paste. We also tried making word documents and inserting them that way but it got a little buggy. Is there any way to have 5 or so pre made text blocks to pick which to insert onto different types of drawings but that can be global used across a few systems?
We have a small group of workers all on the vault server. Basically I just want to be able to have a finished drawing. Click something that will open a list of my pre made text blocks, and insert one into the drawing that I can scale etc. We use Inventor 2011.
Photoshop :: Delete All Textures That Were Previously Made?
Aug 2, 2012This Part was created and given colors in CATIA. I now imported it into Photoshop to create some more realistic textures and what not to it. Although the original textures are still there.
Not sure how to just start fresh and make all new textures... basically what i want to know is if there is a way to delete these. They can all be edited but it takes time and effort to change all the names and stuff...

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: How To Delete (cannot Be Purged) Unused Blocks
May 3, 2011I have an CAD file with a lot blocks which I don't use. I would like to delete them. So I do "Purge" which took care of some but not all. There are still a lot of "cannot purge" blocks. So I do "Insert", I see about 30 blocks. Choosing one of those, I can edit the block. (Doing the "Insert" was just my beginner's test step to see how many unwant blocks I still have.) I believe they cannot be purged because they are nested.
How can I delete the 'cannot be purged" unused blocks?
I know a lot of the blocks have other blocks nested in them. Is deleting the 'parent' blocks enough for me to purge?
AutoCAD VB :: Delete Blocks With Specific Names In Multi Layout Drawing
Apr 25, 2011In autocad 2011 ... I am looking for some sample code to delete all blocks with specific names in a multi layout drawing. There may be multiple blocks with the same name.
This is what I have so far ... this code collects the objects and loops through the layouts and the blocks ... if it finds the text "REVBLK" in the block name ... I want it to delete the block ... it does delete some of them but not all of the blocks ...

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Zoom All & Extents With Blocks Containing Fields On Layout Tabs
Aug 22, 2013We have a new title block which now contains various fields to automatically populate the drawing number, number of sheets, issue etc. The problem we have is when we go to zoom all or extents on a layout tab it moves the layout to the right each time. If we only have one layout or we use a plain title block i.e. with no fields, the zoom works fine (layout stays put in the center). This is also true if we directly insert a field onto the layout - again no problems.
The cause of the problem only happens when a block containing a field is inserted onto the paper space of a layout and,there are multiple layouts containing blocks with fields.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Stretching Same Parameter In All Blocks In Drawing From One Field?
Jul 15, 2011How do I manipulate a height parameter all of the dynamic blocks in the drawing from one single field? Say a field located in the drawing properties or on the drawing itself.
For example: Multiple blocks of different walls of same height with other blocks of things on located on those walls, dependant on the wall height, all linked to and changed by a single field. Possibly a Wall Height field located in the custom tab of the drawing properties.
I can pickout each of the blocks and change them at the same time in properites menu because they all share the same parameter name. I would just like to have that height parameter of every block in the drawing, that has that specific parameter controled by a single field. Which I could enter a new height at anytime that would change every block in the drawing to that height.
AutoCad 2D :: Replace Dynamic Blocks With Normal Blocks Based On Parameters
Aug 2, 2012We used a bespoke program to convert our drawings to Java applets for web usage. This does not cope with dynamic blocks at present and we have started to receive drawings from our clients using them.
I need to replace this with standard static blocks based on one of two criteria. Either:
1) Replace based on visibility state (have generic chair block with multiple different chair types set by visibility type, need to replace depending on which type it is set as)
2) Replace based on parameter (have table with size set by dimensions, need to replace with static block for each dimension)
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Add Exact Same Objects And Visibility State To Blocks
Jan 7, 2014I have over 100 blocks that I need to add the exact same objects and visibility state to. Is there a way to globally make this change, or even to copy the visibility states from one block to the next without having to recreate the states in each block? I thought I had previously run across a routine on here that would make changes to multiple blocks at once, but I can't seem to find it now.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: AttSync Of Blocks - Takes A Long Time With Numerous Objects
May 18, 2012The AttSync command does what it advertises fairly well. My problem is that I have thousands of small blocks in a single drawing. (My current drawing has 2100 block references with four attributes in each one.) I may change the attribute values in a few of them and need to re-sync the attribute locations. When I run AttSync it updates every single block insertion. One of two things are desired:
1)Flag each block insertion as having been sync'ed, reducing the number of objects requiring synchronization when AttSync is called again. Provide a way to force all to be sync'ed.
2)Allow a selection set in the AttSync command after selecting the block to sync.
Either or both of these would a great time-saver for those of us with large numbers of blocks with attributes.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Exploding Blocks With Negative Values?
Apr 24, 2013I built a building foundation for a grading plan and I have another building that is the exact mirror of it. I have tried to mirror it. Didn't work. I created a block of the feature lines and inserted it with a -1 x value but I can't explode it. I tried the regular explode and xplode. Neither worked. I can use the the block to draw feature lines over but it just seems so much easier if I could figure out how to explode the block.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Get Blocks To Have Images Associated With Actual Block Name
Apr 29, 2013I am using AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 7 platform
95% of the blocks on the palettes have the images associated, and named, per the block name.
I have 48 blocks that the images are named like this "Block tool_F2149212-4649-41F5-95E6-4A978EC376F5_2".
I have tried resaving the blocks and recreating the blocks to no avail.
How to get these few blocks to have images that are associated with the actual block name and not the generic "block_too" name?
AutoCAD LT :: Fields Within Blocks / Update Blocks For A Client

View 8 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Sharing Parameters Between Blocks
Nov 20, 2013I wish to have a single dimension alter the dimensions in a set of nested blocks, similar to shared parameters in Revit.

Am I able to share the parameter across all the blocks?
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Replace Standard Blocks
Jun 20, 2012I was trying to alter the standard blocks on the tool palette. How I messed everything up but I basically have two huge problems now.
1. I am missing the necessary default blocks that should be under my edit block directory.....all the Aecb files.
2. Now when I try and put in a receptacle or any other standard block a triangle with an exclamation point shows up upon insertion.
I attached a picture of the "edit block definition" and the troubled symbols.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Text Disappeared From Blocks
Oct 1, 2011I have been working on a drawing with 3 different dynamic blocks for several weeks and everything has been working perfectly. However, all of a sudden this afternoon, the text in all 3 dynamic blocks disappeared and will not display on the screen in paper or model space, and does not print.
As best I recall, I was creating a polyline viewport when this text disappeared.
I cannot turn the text on in these dynamic blocks. The text in on layer 0 which is on, and is unlocked and unfrozen. Additionally I have turned on, unlocked and unfroze all layers in the dwg and this does not work. I have also checked the text layer in the block editor and it is on layer 0.
When I click on any of the blocks, all the information appears to be correct, ie: door numbers, text style, etc. The text, however, just does not appear. Also I have never set any invisible text parameters and when I open the block editor, nothing in the invisible text area is selected or select-able.
Previous versions of this drawing, which I saved yesterday, display all block text perfectly. Perhaps there is a setting I accidentally hit which caused this problem?
I have tried repeatedly turning on all the layers, unfreezing, unlocking, changing parameters in the Style menu. I closed Autocad and turned the computer completely off and back on again.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Plots All Blocks To PNG - Open DWG / Get List Of All Blocks
Nov 30, 2012I have a program that plots all blocks to png - open a dwg, get a list of all blocks, insert each into an empty dwg, zoom extents, and plot using the OOTB PublishToWeb PNG.pc3. In the attachments is an example of the problem. When I do this manually from a layout, I get the correct image. When I plot from code using the same PC3 file, draworder is being ignored.
It works if I apply transparency to the block and use ps.PlotTransparency = True, but I would prefer not to have to tell the user to change the block definitions. Is there a plotsettings property I am missing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Annotative Blocks
Aug 17, 2012I've just started to learn how to use Annotative Blocks and i'm running into what is probably a very simple problem. I'm creating a block and want to assign annotative scales to it. Once created, I insert the block into the drawing I need to use it in, and the only scale that shows up is the scale that is active when inserted.
All the other scales I added when creating the block are gone and I then have to assign the scales to the block again. I would prefer not to have to manually assign the scales every time the block in inserted into a drawing.
