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

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

General Steps of Creating a Dynamic Block Definition In order to get a Dynamic Block Definition, improve block editing efficiency and avoid repeating modifications, we can create Dynamic Block by the following steps.  Step1: Planning: Before... Read More

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

3 ways to modify block definition Block is very useful as reusable contents. And when you need to create similar objects in your drawing. One of the most popular benefits is when you need to modify all instances; you only need to modify one. All... Read More

Block is very useful as reusable content. And when you need to create similar objects in your drawing. One of the most popular benefits is when you need to modify all instances; you only need to modify one. All other instances will be automatically... Read More

For the Array function of Dynamic Block we need to use Array Action, we use Array Action to match with Linear Parameter, Polar Parameter, XY Parameter to achieve various Arrays. Linear Array As below, we will use Array to achieve a fast draw and... Read More

Modify the grips' number of the Polar parameter in the section symbol dynamic block in the last example to display both of the two grips of the Polar parameter. From the following picture we can see that the central grip is clearly different... Read More
