View 3 RepliesIs there a way to create a block with attributtes that automatically complete x, y, z, lat, long for the insertion point of the block?
I am trying to complete text in paperspace that will automatically fill in the lat long of a point in model space without using a table. I have tried field insertion with reference to a cogo point, but it doesn't give options for position on a cogo point. If I pick a block with attributes, it will let me pick any attributes, and x,y position for the block.
Cogo points show all the information I need to propagate in the properties....but how do I get that to translate into the text using fields or some other method?

Is it possible to create a block to insert on our title block that will populate itself with a list of drawings and names?
I know this is possible through the use of LISP and the Sheet Set Manager, but could this be done through a combination of attributes and fields (we want the same functionality in LT).
I made a write block from one drawing so that i could use it in another drawing. Now that i have inserted it into a different drawing i cannot explode it. I did not see the option to allow exploding when i created it.
I tried to create a regular block (not a write block) but then when i opened a new drawing and clicked "insert" "block" it was not in the list of available blocks?
Is there a way to create a thumbnail for a block that looks like the block when in a drawing rather than exploded when written to a file? All of the hidden attributes are currently being shown in the thumbnail using Wblock.I'm using AutoCAD 2011 to create blocks and thumbnails for a program called WireCAD.

In other words supose I have a block of a simple rectangle with the base point in the center.
If I try to snap to the block, I will be able to snap to all the corners, but not the base point. I know that i can put a point at the base point, but can I turn off the snap to the corners (just for the block) in other words, have an object that is unsnapable to without turning the snap mode off.
how to create a block. Trying to create a block of a tree and have it 15 ft in diameter.in can draw it but from there am confused.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm drawing a block library for myself. I would like to create block with one attribute value who will be repeated few time in the block (in mtext or attribute). As example, here is the original block (I wrote only the text of the block):
Ix.0
Ix.1
Ix.2
where x is a variable e.g. attribute
Then when I insert the block, attribute ask for value. Then if I type 2 I want to have
I2.0
I2.1
I2.2
If I type 3:
I3.0
I3.1
I3.2
I would like to create an "Y" dynamic block, see bellow.
The hole length and the "cross" point will be variable, between the two sticks will be 90 deg, and it will be FIX.
I would like if I change the "variable 2" distance the two sticks follow the cross point, and the top of the sticks stay in the same level, but between the sticks the 90 deg stay!
I need to create a new block based on a existing block(need the same shape), then overlay on top of the existing one.
1. create a new block based on the existing one. the existing block is solid but I need to give pattern to new one
2. overlay on top of the existing one
I new how to create a block generally, but doesn't know how to create based on an existing one.
Is it possible to create 3D dynamic block and export dimension data ? in detail I would like to create a pipe block, use it in a dwg with different length and export data in order to know sum of all blocks with different length.
As alternative, In case 3d dynamic block is not feasible, is it possible to export data to calculate dimension of 3D object?
I want to create a dynamic block that as I select my pick point to move it over it stretches the box, however at the same time it arays 2 other lines at the same time. The trick is I need the 2 lines that array to renceter them self within the overall box thats being strtched. To put this in exact teerms I'm looking to create a dynamic block of a reinforced concrete slab that you can stretch to the length you want and at teh same time the reinforcing sysmbeol (----- X-----) will array itself and recenter. Is this possible to do?

All I need is to get the thumbnail (image preview) from blocks in my drawing with vb.net application.
I'm Using VS2010, and API.COM to develop this.
I found how to do this with an external dwg file, but in this case i want to show the thumbnail from blocks in a drawing opened.
I've written a program with c#.net for selecting objects and creating block without opening a window in autocad. But when I run its dll in autocad, it makes a block including many of the selected objects by me/user in one block.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a dynamic block library but can't quite seem to get it right.
The only dynamic feature I need to use right now is visibility states so i'm sure it's something simple that i'm just not seeing, but I thought I would ask everyone's opinion on the best way to do it.
What I am trying to do is set up a full common library on our network that our whole team uses. At the moment we all have our own block library which can sometimes cause problems. The file location / folder set up etc is sorted out but it's the actual blocks which are making life hard for me as until now we haven't really used dynamic blocks.
The only way i've been able to get the blocks where I want them so far ends up in a 'double block' meaning the block itself becomes a block again once I write it to the desired folder. This works but is not ideal as I can't get the vis state drop down menu by clicking on the block and have to edit the parent block to change the vis state.
Basically I have no problem creating the exact dynamic block I need, and no problem with a location to store them, it's more storing them that's giving me a headache.
here a little of my code i want to use for insert a block :
BlocDef = tr.GetObject(BlocDef.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)For Each ent As Entity In CollObject BlocDef.AppendEntity(ent) tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(ent, True)NextCollObject.Clear()
BlocDef is a BlockTableRecord
CollObject is a DBObjectCollection.
But how i can insert in the CollObject my inserted Block with attribute and dynamic ?
i can easy add rectangle or circle but i dont know how for block. to do that actually i add directly in database with a transaction.
how to work with anno text and dims, but I need to create an annotative, dynamic block.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if it is possible to create some sort of block which will detect the angle it has been rotated to and present this angle as a text? For eg. to calculate the superelevation and present it as a multileader with 3.00% above it.

I'm having some difficulty in deciding how to go about creating a title block for my drawings. I have attempted to create the title block with Document fields from the drawing properties custom properties tab, and creating the same fields with information from the Sheet / Sheet Set fields. Both title blocks used attributes inside the block to house the fields, and both were .dwt files.
Is there a way to take the properties from the .dwt drawing into a newly created drawing, or is there a way to link custom sheet set properties with a newly created sheet set? The main goal is to not have the user manually input multiple custom fields either in the drawing properties or the sheet set manager of the new drawing.
i have created a block with n attribute.i insert the block with attribute filled with fields.I send the commande "Regen" for update field.
Now i want to add a rectangle in the block définition.I use GeometricExtents. it works fine only when then the rotation is 0 and UCS on UCSW.how i can create the line with the 4 points ? I want the line include all entity in my block def.I joined a zip with : 2.dwg is the XRef in 3.dwg
My bloc show info from xref (2.dwg).in the dwg. the bloc contain a line. The libe i manualy added when i create the blockreccord
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.

It is for display the path+Name of my Xref.
It use fields manualy put i can copy/paste the bloc. (ObjectId not egual in a 2 dwg).
I want :
1 - selec the Xref --> I know how to do that.
2 - create a bloc --> I know.

4 - fill the att with the field --> ???
Q) A user will enter information for a new drawing into the Excel file, this will generate an autocad drawing (title block and attribute information) and fill in the title block based on the information in excel file.
OR
Q) a user will create a new autocad drawing from the new templates and fill in the title block. This information will automatically fill in the Excel file.
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?
Is there a way to create an attribute or MTEXT in a block where part of it is User defined and the other part is constant?
e.g.
"AUTOCAD = 12345 LAYERS"
Where "AUTOCAD =" and "LAYERS" are constant
and
"12345" is the user defined part.
The reason why I would like this is because i want to be able to Middle Center Justify the text and if i were to create 3 separate texts then it wouldn't be good (2 texts and 1 attdef)
Basically, what I want to do is create a block, such as a piping elbow, that will allow me to click on different angles upon insertion and have it match that angle.
Assuming those gray dots represent the elbow block, which actions do I need to use in the block to have my elbow block match different angles as shown.
