Description
Why have 30 different irrigation blocks in your drawing when you only need four with visibility states? Why are you guessing at what rotation you should place a stop sign? Want to show a different striping arrow in two clicks? These are just a few of the things that will be covered in this class on Dynamic Blocks. This instructional demo will cover multiple types of Dynamic Blocks using a combination of dynamic parameters. Blocks shown in the presentation will include different combinations of visibility states, rotation, stretch, attributes, alignment, and more.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to use visibility states to combine multiple blocks into one.
- Learn how to create Dynamic Blocks that stretch and rotate.
- Learn how to create blocks with alignment parameters for parallel and perpendicular placement.
- Learn how to create blocks with move parameters to resolve overlapping symbol text.
