    Question 3D Dynamic Blocks

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am attempting to add some dynamic functionality to my existing 3D blocks. So far it is quite a pain in the neck. The block editor only seems to recognize points on the x-y plane and if you attempt to define a parameter anywhere else it says invalid 2-D Value. Also, the -view and -ucs commands don't work, so you have to use 3DO and then right-click and then use the preset views. So that changes the view but the UCS is still aligned to the XY plane (top/world) view so you can't draw anything up and down the z-axis. Really frustrating!

    Any suggestions?

    I am using AutoCAD 2006 (Full Version).

    Thanks.
    Simple minds think alike. Great minds come up with something different.

    The way I've been getting around it is to add insertion points on the X/Y plane underneath where I would want to snap the dynamic properties to. If its an existing block I just use refedit instead of the block editor. Dynamic blocks were meant for 2D so getting to do anything in 3D is a pain in the butt.
