You use the Block Editor to define and modify the objects and behavior in a block definition. In the Block Editor, you add parameters and actions, which define custom properties and dynamic behavior. You can access the Block Editor by typing BEDIT... Read More

Take step shaft as an example, if we stretch the left part of the step shaft and the keyway still is at the center point of smaller diameter shaft after stretching. As the following picture shows: Then, we use “Distance Multiplier” property of... Read More

 There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two stretch actions. Though it can realize two-way stretch, the action of stretch is independent. The parameter needs some additional setup to realize the two-way symmetrical... Read More

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

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

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

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
