PARAMETRICBLOCKASSIST command

Converts an AutoCAD® Dynamic Block into a BricsCAD® Parametric Block.

Alias: PBLOCKASSIST

Description

Converts AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks into BricsCAD® Parametric Blocks. When the command is launched, the Parametric Block Assist dialog box displays.

Method

In most common cases, the following dynamic block features are supported for conversion: visibility actions, one-grip stretch and one-grip move actions, flip action, array action, alignment action parameter, lookup action, with history-dependent actions, and block table feature.

Note: The history of the dynamic blocks will be lost during the conversion to parametric blocks. A warning message about the possible different look of converted block references will be displayed.
Note: Rotation-related actions are not yet supported.

Each dynamic block feature is reconstructed to one or several BricsCAD® Parametric Block features: parametric stretch, parametric flip, reference curves, design tables, parameters formulas, and associative arrays.

Once the Parametric Block Assist dialog box is displayed, all AutoCAD® dynamic blocks of the current drawing are listed. Tick all blocks to convert and specify conversion details (location, suffix).
