You can use object properties or object types to include or exclude objects in or from a selection set. If you want to filter selection sets by property (like color) and by object type, you can use Quick Select (QSELECT) from the Properties palette ... Read More

You can select many objects at the at the same time at the Select Objects prompt. Specify a Rectangular Selection Area You can select many object by specifying opposite corners to establish a rectangular area. which objects are selected, depending on... 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

In this section, we will explain some Scale characters using XY Parameter and Scale Action in a paired example. 1.Drawing graphics Draw the graphics which need a dynamic block and define them as a block as below:   2.Add XY Parameter Entry Block... Read More

If you want to realize a symmetric stretch without changing the keyway center and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with the stretch at the same time, how can you realize that? 1. Add stretch for Step Shaft Add stretch parameter and action... Read More

There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two actions of stretch. Though it can realize a 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 designs, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize an accurate stretch. Pick linear parameter in block editor (BEDIT), click entry frame which is on the right side of" distance type" on the... 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

Block actions (BACTIONTOOL) define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference will move or change when the custom properties of the block reference are manipulated in a drawing. Move Actions Command Entry : BActionTool → M In a dynamic block... Read More

Define custom properties for the dynamic block by specifying positions, distances, and angles for geometry in the block. You add parameters (BPARAMETER) to a dynamic block definition in the Block Editor. In the Block Editor (BEDIT), parameters have... Read More
