AutoCad :: Rotating / Stretching Dynamic Block Along 45 Degree Angle

May 7, 2010

I'm trying to create a dynamic block for plywood. I have the stretch parameter working so that I can stretch the plywood to the needed length. I also have set a rotation parameter based on the various roof pitches that we use. The problem is I would like to be able to rotate the sheathing to a 45 degree angle and then stretch along the 45 degree angle. Once I rotate the sheathing the stretch does not follow the rotation angle. I have attached the file.

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Stretching

May 7, 2012

I am trying to make a block that I can stretch. The end pieces (gusset block) never change size. The only piece that needs to stretch is bar that connects them. The gussets are always on a 45 degrees. If I stretch it over 5 inches on the X axis, it should move -5 on the Y axis.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Rotating Part To Inputted Angle?

Oct 12, 2012

I have created a dynamic block with a rotation parameter&action on an object in the block. My problem is that when I pick the grip to rotate the object it only allows me to rotate it to where my cursor is pointing, if I enter an angle when prompted "Specify rotation angle or [Base point/Undo/eXit]:" say 45degrees the object does not rotate 45 degrees it just rotates to wherever my cursor is pointing

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block - Hatch Not Stretching?

Jan 24, 2014

I've made a simple dynamic block, a rectangle with a hatch and added a linear stretch to it. The stretch works fine on the rectangle itself, but the hatch only gets moved.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Block - Stretching Into Different Sizes

Dec 4, 2012

For my AutoCAD class we are supposed to make a dynamic block of a basic theater flat which we can then stretch into different sizes. I was able to do the vertical stretch no problem, but when it comes to the horizontal stretch, the lines do more of a move action then stretching. I have redone it several times but it still won't stretch properly.

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Scaling / Stretching In One Axis?

Feb 17, 2012

I have a profile drawing of a pv module that is a dynamic block. The dynamic block has options to let you select different attachment points. The location of the attachment points and where they attach to the pv module (the rectangle) is a manufacture requirement to maintain the warranty.

I am trying to modify this dynamic block so that I can stretch both the length and the height of the module. The height was the easy part and is working in the attached dwg.

As the length changes the location of the attachment points need to change as well but proportionally to the length. Basically scaling the rectangle but only on one axis.

I have seen references to how when you insert the block you can change the scale factor or once the block has been inserted into the drawing you can set the scale for one axis in the properties menu but is there anyway to do this dynamically?

The pv modules (the rectangle) come in a variety of specific sizes so scaling the block upon insert wouldn't really work anyway.

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block - How To Keep Objects In Middle When Stretching

Feb 15, 2013

I want to make a simple dynamic block showing a plan section of a window with one mullion between the window jambs. I've succeded making the block stretchable to any given length that is required.

The problem is, that I can't figure out how to keep the mullion right in the middle between the jambs.

Is there any simple way to get there using the actions and parameters in the block authoring palettes?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block - Rotating Attributes

Oct 17, 2012

I want to rotate my block so that the attribute rotates with it but stays the correct way around so it is still readable and no upside down text. So far I can only rotate the block but the attribute won't rotate with it at all.

Is there a step I have missed out?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Dynamic Block Of Steel Angle Of Multiple Sizes And Thickness

Nov 19, 2012

I am tying to create a Dynamic Block of a steel angle of multiple sizes and thickness. I used Dynamic Blocks before and live the idea of changing sizes on the fly with out having to delete and recreate an object.. I got as far as creating an angle of different sizes, i.e.. 4x4, 5x5, etc. and different thickness but can't get the thickness to work with the radius of the angle.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Wipeouts - Not Stretching With Dynamic Actions

Jun 4, 2013

I have noticed in some dynamic blocks that have wipeouts in them, that they dor not stretch with dynamic actions.

In fact, they don't seem to be capable of stretching.

I have read some post about "Autodesk Sketchbook Designer for Autocad 2012" causing some conflicts.

Is there an advantage to having it installed?Do I need to uninstall it? or not?

Does it interfere with anything else in Dynamic Blocks or the drawing file?

GIMP :: Wrapping Text At 90 Degree Angle?

Feb 7, 2012

wrapping a continuous line of text around a 90 degree bend. The third attached image is exactly what I need it to do. That is something I just put together as an example though.

I have some repeating information that I want to wrap around the border of an image. Being that it is repeating information, the text can also look like the first and second image uploaded, where part of the word is cut off. I would prefer this to be minimal though.

So far all I have found in my time searching on this leaves the words distorted.

No matter the complications, this also needs to be scripted. It is not feasible to do this manually as the repeating information is dynamic.
