Create Fillets With a FILLET , you can join two objects with a tangent arc of a specified radius. Set the Fillet Radius When the radius of the filleted is changed, it will affects subsequent fillets. If the fillet radius is set to 0, no arc is... Read More

There are many methods to generate duplicates of objects in your drawing, such as COPY , OFFSET , MIRROR and ARRAY . Copy Objects Duplicates of objects can be generated at a specified distance and direction from the originals. Use coordinates,... 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

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

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

Modify a Block Definition You can edit a block definition or a block reference already inserted in the drawing. If you redefine block definitions in your current drawing, all the block references will be affected simultaneously. you have two options... Read More

An attribute (ATTDEF) is a flag or label that attaches data to a BLOCK . Attribute (ATTDEF) stores the characteristics include the tag, the prompt, value information, text formatting, location and optional modes (Invisible, Constant, Verify, Preset,... Read More
