Advanced Dynamic Block Question

[krin2000]

I have came to the conclusion that creating Dynamic blocks for the most part are easy. now I need to push it to the next step.

this might be both Lisp and Dynamic block

it is easy to create a dynamic block that you can stretch to set measurements but, I need to create a dynamic block that can stretch along an arc.

it has to let me select the arc, line or poly line to determine the radios.

anyone know?

Could you post an example drawing of what you want, the question is a bit vague.

afaik stretching along an arc is not possible but there might be workarounds.

here is a example picture:

definitely not possible with dynamic actions, maybe ask in the lisp forum?

Hi

 

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem, and I'm guessing dynamic blocks are the answer. I've made a couple basic dynamic blocks but not an expert. So what I want to do is:

 

I would like to have patterns on the edges of slopes to show which way they slope. Basically it is a few perpendicular lines on a longer line every 10meters for example. I thought I could define two points that would be the two ends of the longer line (slope edge), this way defining the rotation and the length, and than autocad would put this block (lines perpendicular to the long line) every 10meters for example.

Is this possible? Or how is it possible if not dynamic block are the answer?

 

Thank you

Hi wovawefo,

 

You can do this with a dynamic block, the way you describe it i would make a line with stretch action and array action linked to it (for the perpendicular lines) and then a rotate action to define the angle.

good luck!

Hi Tommy

 

Thank you very much. I started based on your lead and managed to solve it with an array and a rotate action as you suggested.

 

Thanks again.
