How to edit block attributes in Microsoft Excel
Block attributes is a great way to store information but if you already have many blocks in your drawing, editing the attributes can be tedious and prone to error. It would…
How to make a multicolored line entity or with embedded text in GstarCAD
Although it may sound impossible, you can draw multicolored lines/polylines in GstarCAD.
Knowing more about actions in dynamic block editor
Actions define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference will move or change when the custom properties of the block reference are manipulated in a drawing.
Knowing more about parameters in dynamic block editor
Parameters have an appearance similar to dimensions. Parameters also specify positions, distances, and angles for geometry in block reference. When you add a parameter to a dynamic block definition, the…
Knowing more about dynamic block editor
You use the Block Editor to define and modify the objects and behavior in a block definition. In the Block Editor, you add parameters and actions, which define custom properties…
Dynamic Block Creation (Chain Action)
If you want to realize symmetric stretch keeping keyway center no change and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with stretch at same time, how will realize that?
Dynamic Block Creation (Distance Multiplier)
Take step shaft as an example, if we stretch the left part of the step shaft and the keyway still is at the center point of smaller diameter shaft after…
Dynamic Block Creation (Symmetrical Stretch)
There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two stretch actions. Though it can realize two-way stretch, the action of stretch is independent. The parameter…
Dynamic Block Creation (Parameter Value Set)
For mechanical design, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize the accurate stretch.
Dynamic Block Creation (Linear Stretch)
For example, during mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear stretch function for the…
