General Steps of Creating a Dynamic Block Definition
In order to get a Dynamic Block Definition, improve block editing efficiency and avoid repeating modifications, we can create Dynamic Block by the following steps.
How do I control the prompt order for attributes
When building the block definition, the selection order is the key. If you simply window off the geometry there is a good possibility the prompt order will not be as desired.
How to duplicate block definition?
When we want to create a similar block from the existing block, how do you do it? Explode it and recreate block with a different name?
3 ways to modify block definition
Block is very useful as reusable contents. And when you need to create similar objects in your drawing. One of the most popular benefits is when you need to modify all instances; you only need to modify one. All other instance will be automatically updated. We will see 3 methods that you can use to modify your block definition.
How to change zoom direction
Another related system variable is ZOOMWHEEL which can toggle the direction of transparent zoom operations when you scroll the middle mouse wheel.
How to perform transparent commands
You can use many commands transparently like pan, zoom,
How to cycle commands
As a new or experience CAD user, you might found that GstarCAD has a lot of commands. Not to mention changing the system variables. Some (well, many…) of them have to be activated from command line.
Dynamic Door Sample
-Previously we have created a dynamic Wall and Column that can be stretched perfectly.
-Now what we want to achieve is a dynamic door with different sizes to choose.
-We can design a door like this according to wall thickness.
-Immediately we draw a rectangle as shown.
Dynamic Column Sample
-Previously we have created a dynamic wall that can be stretched both ends.
-Now what we want to achieve is a dynamic column with different sizes.
-We can draw a column similar like this with concrete as hatch pattern.
-If we execute “Wipeout” command and set its frame visibility “Off”
