Exploring Parameters and Dynamic Blocks in AutoCAD
by Pierre Derenoncourt
In this set of tutorials we'll use parameters to create dynamic blocks in order to add windows to our elevation drawing. Software required: AutoCAD 2014.
What you'll learn
In this set of tutorials we'll use parameters to create dynamic blocks in order to add windows to our elevation drawing. We'll get started by creating some blocks of a few window types from our design. We'll learn how to work with parameters and actions in order to create a flexible block. We'll apply stretch parameters as well as a list of multiple sizes for future projects. By the end of this course you'll have an understanding of how parameters work and you should be very comfortable with applying the stretch parameter and action. Software required: AutoCAD 2014.
