You can hatch an area using a predefined hatch pattern, define a simple line pattern using the current linetype (LINETYPE), or create more complex hatch patterns. You can also create a gradient fill that can be used to enhance presentation drawings... 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

We use the Polar Stretch function of Dynamic Blocks to draw the section symbol in this section. 1.Draw Graphics Drawing includes the attribute text which can be modified as you need as below:   2.Mirror graphics   3. Define blocks Define all the... Read More

In this section, we are going to use a rotation parameter and rotate action to add a dynamic rotate function to view index symbols (English system) which are frequently used in architectural drawings. 1. Draw a drawing Draw a view index symbol and... Read More

Scale Action can be matched with the Linear Parameter, Polar and XY Parameter to achieve various Dynamic effects. Linear Scale 1.Draw Finish drawing an access hole in a model space and define it as a block, as shown in the following picture.   2... 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

Take the 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 the smaller diameter shaft after stretching, as the following picture shows: Then, we use the "Distance Multiplier"... Read More

During a mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear Tensile function for the keyway on the step shaft. Add linear parameter   2. Add stretch action Click the... Read More

Actually, limited to the demand of the material mechanics characteristics, keyway is only allowed to be placed on the central line. So, a horizontal movement is enough for keyway and the movement to other direction is not meaningful. Next we will... Read More
