Actions 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: Move action causes objects to move a specified distance and angle such as a point,... Read More

Parameters have an appearance similar to dimensions. Parameters also specify positions, distances, and angles for geometry in block reference. When you add a parameter to a dynamic block definition, the parameter defines one or more custom properties... 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

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

The TEXTFIT command is used to stretches or shrinks text object(s) by selecting new start and/or end points. Command Access : Command Entry : TEXTFIT Menu : Text>Text Fit Command line prompts as follow: Select Text to stretch/shrink: Specify end... Read More

Function Description: The DYNDIVIS system variable is used to control the dynamic dimension number when stretching grips. Type : Integer Saved in : Registry Initial value : 1 Range : 0,1,2 The DYNDIGRIP system variable controls which dynamic... Read More

In some industrial application design, sometimes we need to break pipes or cable lines in our schematic drawing to indicate their spatial relationship. Sometimes we also need to break lines at crossing point to make it convenient for the later edit.... Read More

All text objects can be moved (MOVE) , rotated (ROTATE), deleted and copied (COPY) just like any other objects. You can also edit the contents of the created text objects. Modify single line text There are two ways for the singe line text... Read More

Objects can be moved to a different location or rotated to a new orientation. Move Objects To move objects at a specified distance or direction from the originals, you can use coordinates, grid snap, object snaps and other tools. Specify Distance... Read More
