sunsan Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hello! I'm trying to make a dinamic block wich can be differents steel channels. I'm using strech for the width, depth and thickness. I started drawing the bigger one C10x25 and then added the different dimensions. This C10x25 looks good, but the rest... I don't know what is happening with the width and thickness Channel Dinamic Block.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatekeeper101 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) You should be using a block table http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS73099cc142f48755-19b9987911ec57ba220-6934.htm,topicNumber=d0e67960 with dymic constraints http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS1a9193826455f5ff5cf1d02511b1d000978-3bd2.htm,topicNumber=d0e55768 YouTube demo Edited December 4, 2013 by Gatekeeper101 Found YouTube video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Does AutoCad LT 2010 even have constraints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Nope, no LT version has the abillity to create them, but like 3D solids, we can gaze in awe, and then delete them when they get in the way, but seriously LT cannot create or edit constraints, if they are in a drawing and work then that is fine. I do agree that the parameter table is probably the best way to go for something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsan Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 buf... I've made the table for 2 times and I don't know what it still happening It get's deformed at the model space![ATTACH]45585[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatekeeper101 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Cannot retrieve attachment . . . but like steven-g said LT does not allow all functionality, and from what he said LT doesn't allow constraints . . . but if you upload the file again, I'll look at it.

Gatekeeper101 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Here are the attachments, but I'm using constraints, LT will not allow you to make the constraints. Non-the-less you have a working block CHANNEL.dwg Channel 3.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsan Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks a lot, Gatekeeper. I'm not able to see your files in this AutoCAD version, I will try to get a latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 LT 2014, I believe is the first LT release that has full constraints functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 LT 2014, I believe is the first LT release that has full constraints functionality. Damn - really, the company upgraded us to 2013 not long ago, it'll be at least 5 years before I can get my hands on constraints - Double Damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Taylor Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 LT 2014, I believe is the first LT release that has full constraints functionality. looking at this that doesn't appear to be the case, I'll take a look on a colleagues machine here soon.

Dana W Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 looking at this that doesn't appear to be the case, I'll take a look on a colleagues machine here soon.Is there another kind of constraint? The trial version I had certainly had a tab for parametric constraints. Maybe I misunderstood what it was. I didn't use it. Maybe it just says "This tab intentionally left blank." when clicked on. Maybe I was just stressed out due to being in constraints, here at the farm. In fact, there are a few tab sub buttons on the LT ribbon that hint at functionality not checked off of the LT side of that comparison. I probably can't download the trial again for a while to check it out. It has only been a couple of weeks. In truth, I only downloaded it to stress test my graphics board in my new computer. It passed. I suspected it because 2009 LT is giving me fits on that machine. I'll go with whatever proves out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very well could be there, and would make sense if it was as there are some visibility options available, as mentioned earlier the constraints are present in LT, but they cannot be added or manipulated in any way.
