For mechanical design, we often need stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize the accurate stretch. 1. Pick Linear Parameter: In block editor, pick the linear parameter, then click entry frame which is in the right... Read More

For example, during mechanical design, we often need change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear stretch function for the keyway on the step shaft. 1. Add Linear Parameter: Add linear... 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... Read More

Alignment Parameter can give dynamic blocks the function of alignment automatically, which can save the step of rotating the blocks. 1. Add an Alignment Parameter for a Roughness Symbol: Draw a roughness symbol in the Block Editor. Select... Read More

When we want to create a similar block from the existing block, how do you do it? Explode it and recreate the block with a different name? You will have a lot of problems when you have a block with many dynamic block parameters and actions! In... Read More

This new function allows to batch purge the excess objects such as blocks, layers, line type, dimension style or text style on several DWG files. The Batpurge tool doesn't need to open files. It executes the command of purge directly, which... Read More
