About this Course

Use dynamic blocks to their full potential in AutoCAD. Learn how to create standard and dynamic blocks, adjust block definitions, add parameters, and much more.
Regular blocks allow you to reuse a group of objects repeatedly, thus saving time and creating consistency in your AutoCAD drawings. Dynamic blocks take that power a step further, allowing you to adjust the shape, size, or configuration of blocks as you insert them.

In this course, learn how to use dynamic blocks to their full potential in AutoCAD, as well as how to create them, using advanced techniques in the Block Editor. This course teaches you the basics, from working with existing dynamic blocks to setting up custom dynamic blocks.

Expert shows how to create standard and dynamic blocks, adjust block definitions with the Block Editor, add parameters (aka rules) to control block behavior, and control the visibility of objects in dynamic blocks with visibility states.

 

Topics include:

  • Creating standard blocks
  • Using DWG files to store blocks
  • Using dynamic blocks
  • Using the Block Editor
  • Adding parameters and actions to dynamic blocks
  • Using visibility states
  • Using rotation and flip parameters
