This function can change the text rotation angle of the block and it only takes effect on text or mtext, attribute text can't be changed. Menu: Express>Blocks>Change Block Text Angle Command Entry: bchgang Operation steps: 1.Start the... Read More

This function can modify block linewidth quickly. Menu: Express>Blocks>Change Block Linewidth Command Entry: bChgWid Operation steps: 1.Start the command. 2.Input a new line width value. 3.Select block objects, for which the line widths need... Read More

The Change Block Color function Modify the block color quickly. Menu: Express>Blocks>Change Block Color Command Entry: bchgcol Operation steps: 1.Start the command. 2.Input new color number, here we input 30 for example. 3.Select block objects... Read More

There are three choices for how the COLOR , LINETYPE , and LWEIGHT properties of objects are treated when BLOCK is inserted: Retain their original properties. For this choice, it is recommended that you set the properties individually for each... Read More

Function Description: The LIGHTSINBLOCKS system variable is used to control whether to use the light contained in block when rendering. Type : Integer Saved in : Drawing Initial value : 1 Range : 0,1 When this system variable is off, the light in... Read More

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 the same time, how will realize that?1. Add Stretch for Step Shaft: Add stretch parameter and action for step... 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 smaller diameter shaft after stretching. As the following picture shows:   Then, we use the “Distance Multiplier”... Read More

Dynamic Block Creation (Linear Stretch) For example, during mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add a Linear stretch function for the keyway on the step shaft.1. Add... Read More
