Creating Dynamic Block with some Parameters like height and width.

prem_kumar8SXZJ — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 12:02:55 GMT

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a block with properties like height and width. I know how to create a dynamic block in AutoCAD and add parameters like linear and Actions like Scale, stretch, etc. However, I am struggling to create the same functionality using AutoCAD .NET API. If anyone knows or has any idea about how we can assign parameters to a block, then please help me.

Many thanks for considering my request.

Based on your description, by saying "...create a block...", I assume you mean block definition/BlockTableRecord. If so, yes, you can create a block definition/BlockTableRecord via .NET API code, but, no, you cannot define dynamic properties as user does in AutoCAD's block editor manually: there is no API exposed for creating dynamic properties.

Hi @norman.yuan, Actually I already created some blocks using .NET API but I want to make those blocks dynamic and assign some properties. But since you are saying that AutoCAD API does not support it right now then I think I have to find some alternative option for that. Thanks for the quick response.
