Customize Quick Properties for Dynamic Parameters

jk1173 — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 18:30:25 GMT

Is there a way to customize what is shown in quick properties for dynamic parameters? The only way you can see the parameters is when in block editor, but editing the CUI in block editor isn't allowed. When not in block editor, the only parameter you can change is the visibility parameter. Any suggestions or is this just a bug saying you have the option to change something but in fact can't?

Dear @jk1173
What's version of AutoCAD using?
I would recommend that you update your AutoCAD, I'm not sure but I think it's already been incorporated several versions ago. I'll pass you a screenshot of 2023 where you can see the option "Display Dynamic Properties"

I hope this helps you.
Greetings.

I'm using 2022 - haven't had the time to update to 2023. 2022 has that section under Block Reference and mine is already checked. Guess since I've got a little breather before the end of the workday, I'll update and see if the needed option has been added. Thanks,

Yeah the Block dynamic properties have been in since (maybe before) LT2016 as that is my version of AutoCAD

Hi,

If you tried the fix as suggested by @mromagnoli, then the next thing I would do is look at the block itself. Are the properties you are trying to see included in the visibility state? Are the properties set to not show.

Well, weirdly enough I found a fix that is working - the suggestions provided weren't really addressing my issue. I updated to 2023 earlier this month. When in block editor, when I click an action, this is what I get in quick properties.

If I click the link to customize, I get the usual response in the command bar that you can't edit the CUI while in block editor. If I then close the editor and enter the CUI, the last action I tried to customize is now added to the list and I can add what properties I want.

Now I get this.

Just tried it on parameters and it works for them as well. As you can see on the previous image above, linear parameters is not listed, but after doing this workaround, it now is added and I can add properties. Knew there "should" be a way to do this but don't get why it's not more straightforward.
