Dynamic Blocks


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to learn how to create a block, such as a W Beam. Once created, I would like to know how to automatically edit the block. Example. Say we have an 8x10 W Beam. Well the drawing needs to change 20 of these beams, which are blocks within the drawing, to 10x12. I would like to be able to type in the different size definitions and have the blocks automatically adjust to the new measurements. I have read and read and can not find anything to teach me. Please be patient with me, I am a visual learner and really need to master this technique.

You might start with looking in the Tool Palettes that ship standard with AutoCAD. On the Structural tab you find an example of a dynamic block wide-flange beam.
