    Default Blocks-Dynamic

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I wanted to know about Blocks which are predefined in tool pallets.If I want to change height of door in section drawing (aluminium door) as 2.1 m how can I change it.
    I used block editor but it changes by scale factor not exactly 2.1.How can I change it to 2.1 m?
    Also I wanted to now how to make tiles in hatch for drawing in section as it is not predefined in hatch.How can I make it?

    Are you referring to Dynamic Blocks?

    I wouldn't waste the time to create a hatch pattern for floor tiles shown in section. Use one of the hatch patterns that comes with AutoCAD.

    The blocks in the tool palettes for doors are "Dynamic Blocks". Once inserted into the drawing use the blue arrows, etc to adjust the size etc.
