#DYNAMIC BLOCKS AUTOCAD 2009 HOW TO#

The first think we will have to do is to erase all the step lines except one so we can use the array action properly. Add an Array action to make new steps when the block is edited.Add a stretch action to stretch all the lateral lines of the escalator.Add a linear parameter to the length of the block.This will require more than one action since we not only want to stretch the lines, but also make extra steps appear when we stretch the block. Next we will make the block stretchable in length. If it does we will continue adding parameters and actions. Check that the block behaves the way it is expected. Try to save and go out of the block editor. Select the stretch Polygon (like you would select the objects using the STRETCH command).Now, we need to add an action to this parameter.

This is how the parameter should look after we created it. Select the two edges of one of the steps.To start we will set the parameters and actions that will let us modify the step width of the escalator. We have to plan what we want to do, and probably you will have to do things twice or trice till you make the block work as you want. Inside the Block Editor you will find a series of buttons that will allow you to do that. To do so, select the blog and type BE (Block Editor). To make this block a dynamic block we have to add Parameters and Actions to the block. We will name this block Dynamic Escalator. I got the escalator DWG from Schindler, the block is good enough for the precise height you request it. The block will be able to be stretched to have different step widths, overall lengths (to cover different floor to floor heights) and some other cool properties.ДЇirst of all we have to create a standard block. In this first tutorial we will create a dynamic block for an escalator.

What would require several different blocks can be achieved with a single dynamic one if we know how to give the right editing properties to them. Learn step by step how to create a dynamic block.Дynamic blocks are a very important resource to increase productivity.
