More gripping features than you'd expect (figure 3). Click the inserted hex socket bolt to activate its grips. That you weren't asked for any insertion or scaling parameters!ģ. Now drag and drop a hex socket bolt from the tool palette onto your screen. Navigating to the Mechanical Tool Palette tab in AutoCAD 2006.Ģ. Open AutoCAD 2006, turn on the Tool Palettes window and navigate to the Mechanicalįigure 2. To gain some initial experience, let's try the following basic exercise.ġ.
Relatively quickly, while those of you who've never worked with a parametric system Used Mechanical Desktop, Inventor, SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER will feel comfortable Using parameters and actions is actually very much likeĬonstraining a 2D profile in a parametric mechanical CAD package. When editing a block in the block editor environment, you'llīe able to add parameters to your geometry, then attach actions to the parameters to In many ways the Bedit command is likeĪ mini-CAD system unto itself, with a new set of commands you'll need to learn. Bedit allows theĭirect editing of blocks similar to in-place reference editing, but also brings in aĭedicated palette of block-editing functions. The Bedit command is now used to make edits to blocks. Icons for dynamic blocks display a lightning bolt to help you easilyīlock editor. Icons for blocks that have no dynamicĮntities in their definitions do not display the lightning bolt, thus allowing youįigure 1. Indicate their dynamic status (figure 1). Palettes in AutoCAD 2006 have a lightning bolt in their iconic representation to You'll notice that the demonstration blocks inserted from tool
I promise that the time you take to comprehend theĭynamic blocks framework will greatly reduce your learning curve.ĭynamic Indicators. So before you jump into creating and editing dynamic blocks, take some time to read New functions into concepts that allow us to explain everything reasonably quickly. The list of new dynamic block functionalities is long, but we can group the various AutoCAD 2002 and prior versions cannot process dynamic blocks because theyĬan't interpret the AutoCAD 2006 DWG format. Session will be treated like any other block insertion - with the dynamic properties AutoCAD 2006 dynamic blocks inserted into an AutoCAD 2004 or 2005 You can save dynamic blocks to DWG files and insert them in other drawings,ĪutoCAD versions.

Dynamic blocks also support drag-and-drop insertion from Windows Explorer.

I'm sure that every CAD manager who has ever used AutoCAD has created a block or two.ĭynamic blocks have the features of traditional blocks we've come to know plus some This edition, I'll detail the new Dynamicīlock capability in AutoCAD 2006 so you can start consolidating and simplifying your block libraries. I've concentrated on new interface and customization features within AutoCAD 2006.
