During a mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear Tensile function for the keyway on the step shaft. Add linear parameter   2. Add stretch action Click the... Read More

Open Block Editor (BEDIT), choose the Angle offset from 0°to 30°in the action property, save and exit the block editor Select the Dynamic Block and then move the right side grip. You will find it can only move in the direction of 30°as it is... Read More

In the Block Editor (BEDIT), select the linear parameters, change the number of grips to "1" in the properties panel.   Save and exit the Block Editor, choose the Dynamic Block, you will find that one grip has disappeared, as shown below. In fact,... Read More

Actually, limited to the demand of the material mechanics characteristics, keyway is only allowed to be placed on the central line. So, a horizontal movement is enough for keyway and the movement to other direction is not meaningful. Next we will... Read More

1. Draw a drawing Draw a drawing like below, define as block.   2. Add point parameter Click point parameter on the tool bar, define the parameter position according to prompt, as shown in below picture.   3. Add move action Click move action... Read More

When you use the "roughness symbol block" to label the spare parts, the symbol is sometimes already in the right position, however, the characters' direction is not right. We need to add the "character flip" function to receive the correct label... Read More

Alignment Parameter can give dynamic blocks the function of alignment automatically, which can save the step of rotating the blocks. 1. Add a alignment parameter for a roughness symbol Draw a roughness symbol in the Block Editor (BEDIT). Select the... Read More

Although the majority of parameters only taken into effect when operations are matched with actions, there are exceptions, base point parameter is one of them. 1．Define blocks Define block and draw a circle in the block editor, as shown in the... Read More

Using the Visibility Parameter function, you can control the display and hide a certain view in Dynamic Block. 1. Prepare view. Prepare a three cars view and define as block.     2. Add Parameter of Visibility Enter into Block Editor by Double... Read More

In order to get a high quality Dynamic Block, improve block editing efficiency and avoid repeating modification, we can finish creating Block by the following steps. Step 1: PlanningBefore creating Dynamic Block, it is essential to plan Dynamic... Read More
