For mechanical designs, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize an accurate stretch. Pick linear parameter in block editor (BEDIT), click entry frame which is on the right side of" distance type" on the... Read More

For mechanical design, we often need stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize the accurate stretch. 1. Pick Linear Parameter: In block editor, pick the linear parameter, then click entry frame which is in the right... Read More

The BPARAMETER command is used to add a parameter with grips to a dynamic block definition. Command Access: Command : BPARAMETER Command Prompts: Enter parameter type [Alignment/Base/Point/Linear/Polar/Xy/Rotation/Flip/Visibility/looKup]: Function... Read More

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 parameter defines one or more custom properties... Read More

Scale Action can be matched with the Linear Parameter, Polar and XY Parameter to achieve various Dynamic effects. Linear Scale 1.Draw Finish drawing an access hole in a model space and define it as a block, as shown in the following picture.   2... Read More

Take the 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 the smaller diameter shaft after stretching, as the following picture shows: Then, we use the "Distance Multiplier"... Read More

Alignment Parameter can give dynamic blocks the function of alignment automatically, which can save the step of rotating the blocks. 1. Add a alignment parameter for a roughness symbol Draw a roughness symbol in the Block Editor (BEDIT). Select the... Read More
