In AutoCAD2006 software, you can now create blocks that are intelligent and flexible. This exciting new feature, called Dynamic Blocks, enables you to modify blocks within specific constraints. A block library might have dozens of windows (if architectural) or bolts (if mechanical). With Dynamic Blocks, you can create one block that takes the place of all these related blocks and be confident that modifications match the dimensions of their real-world objects. As a result, the process of finding the right block is much more efficient. Inserting and editing the block is practically error free.
How you can use Dynamic Blocks
Once you create a Dynamic Block and specify its features and constraints, you modify the block after you insert it, using special grips. As you click or drag the grips, the block adjusts according to its allowable flexibility. In other cases, you can choose options from a drop-down list to specify how to modify the block. Here are some possible scenarios for using Dynamic Blocks:
A door that can be stretched to increase its width without increasing its thickness A bolt that can be lengthened without increasing its thickness.
A bed that can be changed from twin to queen to king, adjusting the number of pillows appropriately.
A picket fence that allows for specific various post heights and then automatically arrays those posts as the fence is stretched.
A rectangular metal plate with a centred hole that stays centred as the plate is stretched.
A piece of equipment (such as a phone or a computer monitor) that can take one of several forms that is chosen from a drop-down list
