Dynamic Blocks

BricsCAD partly supports dynamic blocks, you can:

• insert dynamic blocks from your existing dynamic blocks libraries
• edit the custom properties in the Properties Bar
• grip edit dynamic blocks

The creation of new dynamic blocks is not possible yet. Instead of offering dynamic block functionality, BricsCAD focuses entirely on parametrics.

Editing dynamic blocks

1. Select the dynamic block in the drawing.
   The properties of the selected block display in the Properties Bar.

   

2. Under Attributes > Custom : edit the properties needed.
   The dynamic block is updated automatically.

   

Grip editing dynamic blocks

1. Select the dynamic block in the drawing.
   The following grip types display:
   • Point
   • XY
   • Linear
   • Polar
   • Rotation
   • Flip
   • Visibility

2. Drag a grip to edit the block.
   In the example below:
   • Rotate the block (1): drag the grip to rotate the block dynamically or type a value in the dynamic entry field.
   • Show/hide entities (2): click to select an option.
   • Flip (3): click to mirror the block
   • Edit the length (4): select the grip to dynamically edit the length or type a value in the dynamic entry field.
