I am trying to create a dynamic block for a shear walls ... I am anticipating that we will start with 3 shear wall types that will have 3 different formula.
To test this I have created a 4 value attribute.
Wall Type - Manual (first version SW-1)
Wall Number - Manual
Wall Length - Field
Shearvalue - Formula (Length * 20) .... These was the original formula.
I want to be able to drag this block to the Tool Palette
I have been able to drag the first one to the tool palette. And then I save the file as (-01 and and also -02) so I can then change the Attribute Value to SW-2 and SW-3. I renamed the blocks in both circumstances and changed the default value of the WALL TYPE to SW-2 and SW-3.
In regards to the formula I am having to edit the Attribute Editor ... once it is open I am editing the field by changing the formula to ( length * 30 ) and (length * 40) respectively .... once this is done I have then drag the blocks to the tool palette.
To test these blocks, I open a new drawings and drag and drop the 3 block types ... unfortunately the last two are retaining the formula of the first one I had created.
Is it possible to modify the original block / formula as I have described above?
or do I need to create the 2nd details from scratch?
My goal is to have pre-determined shear wall dynamic blocks that the team can use ... but I do not them to have to modify the formulas initially when they add them to the drawings ....
