You may already understand about blocks in AUTOCAD in that they consist
00:09
of multiple objects and are grouped together to make one object.
00:14
But what about dynamic blocks?
00:16
What are they
00:18
dynamic blocks are a special kind of block that can
00:22
be dynamically changed to perform a wide variety of functions?
00:27
A number of these functions are explained later in this video,
00:32
let's discuss the use of dynamic blocks and projects.
00:37
Dynamic blocks can be created for any discipline
00:41
wherever blocks would typically be used,
00:44
especially
00:46
if they need to be changed in either appearance
00:49
size
00:51
or location.
00:53
Dynamic blocks are a great choice to use in any project.
00:58
While each discipline can have its own dynamic blocks,
01:01
all disciplines can use annotative type dynamic blocks such as bar scales,
01:08
title bars
01:09
and north arrows.
