Dynamic Blocks ExposedTRANSCRIPT
Dynamic Blocks
Exposed
Block Advantages:
Reduce repetitive tasks
Reduce file size
Maintain company standard
• easy to manipulate as they are unified
• each block is a single data reference
• provide consistency for standard parts and details
Dynamic Block:
Introduced in AutoCAD 2006
“Smart and flexible” block
It has the ability to change
Static Block vs. Dynamic Block
Static Block:
Multiple steps to place and align
Design changes require erasing and reinserting or exploding, editing
and redefining
Static Block vs. Dynamic Block
Dynamic Block:
Automatically align to nearby geometry
Can have multiple insertion points
Change visibility of geometry to streamline design changes
You can edit geometry within a block without exploding it
Modify the appearance of individual block references rather
than searching for other block definitions to insert or redefining
the existing ones
Elements of Dynamic Block
Parameters
• Control and/or drive the actions of dynamic block
• Special grips within dynamic blocks that enable you to move,
scale, stretch and rotate, array and flip individual block
geometry
• Define the feature of the block that you can change
Elements of Dynamic Block
Elements of Dynamic Block
Actions
• Actions are associated with a parameter
• Define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference will
move or change when the block reference is manipulated in a
drawing

General Steps To Create A Dynamic Block:
Step 1: Planning.
Step 2: Draw geometric figures.
Step 3: Add parameter/s and action/s.
Step 4: Finally, test the dynamic block.

• Function
• Appearance
• Required parameter/s and action/s
• Basic Elements
General Steps To Create A Dynamic Block:
Step 3: Add parameter/s and action/s.
Step 4: Finally, test the dynamic block.
• This is the most critical aspect when making dynamic block
• This will determine the “intelligence and flexibility” of the
dynamic block
• Save and exit of the Block Editor
• Start the dynamic block test to check if it reaches to the
prospective effect
