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

If you want to realize symmetric stretch keeping keyway center no change and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with stretch at same time, how will realize that? 1. Add Stretch for Step Shaft: Add stretch parameter and action for step shaft... 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

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

The RESETBLOCK command is used to reset one or more dynamic block references to default value of block definitions. Command Access: Command : RESETBLOCKShortcut : select one dynamic block reference, right-click and select "Ret block" Command Prompts... Read More

Function Description: The BLOCKEDITLOCK system variable is forbid to open block editor or edit dynamic block definition. Type : Integer Saved in : Registry Initial value : 0 Range : 0,1 System Variable Value: 0 : allow to open block editor1 : forbid... 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

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
