AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Grips

Sep 19, 2011

I have created an annotated block of a cut line. In the block editor the grips are located on the ends of the cutline where I need them to be. When I test the block in the block editor the grips are in the right place and the block works fine. However, when I insert the block into my drawing the grips to control the stretch action are located way out in right field instead of at the ends of the cutline where I placed them in the block editor. Parameters having errors. I have corrected the errors but my block is still acting the same way.

AutoCAD .NET :: Stretch Block Dynamic Grips

May 24, 2013

I have a problem with dynamic blocks.

I have inserted a dynamic block (with .NET) and changed the value of a dynamic parameter (Linear). The block is stretched as it should be. (no problems here).

After a fiew other routines, I select the block again (by using its objectID) and a want to get the coördinates of the grip of the linear dynamic paramter. Is there a way to get the coördinates based on the linear dynamic parameter and its grip points? code in vb.Net?

AutoCAD .NET :: Selecting And Moving Grips On Dynamic Blocks?

Dec 17, 2012

I took the time to search and was unable to find anything that seemed relevant. I have also had trouble figuring out the documentation.

Is there a way to select a specific grip within a dynamic block and then update its position?

AutoCad 2D :: Removing Unwanted Grips In Dynamic Blocks

Jul 12, 2013

I have a dynamic block which consists of a number of hatches, polylines and texts. The dynamic block has the property of being stretched and flipped.

Now the problem is that the normal grips which are being displayed for the normal lines, polylines and hatches are interfering with the stretch and flip grips. Is there a way to make autocad show only the dynamic grips.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Separate Objects With Coincident Grips

May 26, 2011

I have a block which represents a piece of equipment on a factory floor.  It has two subcomponents which are blocked with the main equipment.  Consider a rectangle and two smaller circles blocked together.  Each of the subcomponents (circles) has a point parameter and a move feature so that the components can be moved independently from each other and from the main equipment. 

Here's the issue: If a user accidentaly (or purposely) places the grip from one of the subcomponents snapped to the grip of the other subcomponent, then the two seem forever attached; when I try to grab the grip of one of the subcomponents to separate them, both grips get selected and both components move together.  At this point the two components appear to be inseparable with the grips permanently joined.

Here's the question: Is there a way to separate the two components once their grips are made coincedent?  Or is this a case of "just don't snap the grips together"?  I'd like there to be a way to pull the components apart.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Two Grips To Simulate Aligned Dimension

Dec 5, 2013

I have a line with shapes on each end like an aligned dimension. I want to have a grip on each end to let the user put the ends where they want.

I tried a polar stretch pair, with two rotation pairs, but am lost. The stretch is easy, but does not rotate the arrows to stay aligned to the line. I don't actually have arrows, but most know the behavior of aligned dimensions. I don't have extension lines though, like the dim would so ignore that part.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Save Dynamic Block Using Save Block Icon

Sep 20, 2013

1. What is the easiest way to find points that are not constrained? I get a notice that the block is not fully constrained and its a nightmare going through all the lines trying to find where I need to apply a constarinet.( I can't wait to get off ACAD and back to Inventor.)

2. When I try to save a dynamic block using the Save Block icon under Open/Save, if the dynamic block is not fully constrained, and I click save, when I reopen the block to edit all of my constraints are gone, this has happened twice. Now I just exit by Xing out and saving changes.

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 :: Flipping Dynamic Block With Multiple Items Not Visible

Jul 25, 2012

new 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

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Create A Dynamic Block For Glass Panel In Balustrade

Feb 28, 2012

I 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, 2011

I 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, 2013

I 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.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: How To Disable The Dialog Box Shown When Open A Dynamic Block

Nov 7, 2011

I 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, 2012

I'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, 2010

I 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 :: 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 :: Grip Point Dynamic Block

Nov 15, 2012

I 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, 2012

Is 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?

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Selecting A Edited Dynamic Block?

Mar 28, 2011

I 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.
