Dynamic Blocks / Extract Data

[ewbenini]

Good morning everyone, I'm new to AutoCAD and would like some help from you.

I am trying to parameterize my products (windows) according to the attached dwg. I would like to be able to create a dynamic block where the width and height of the window are changed. And in this way also generate a table with the list of parts containing the respective cutting measures (width or height).

How can I proceed?

Hug.

You need two linear parameter, one for the height and the other for the width.   Define the way you will increment the sizes, you can do that selecting the linear and go to the properties panel, select an option in the DIST TYPE option, maybe the list option is your best choice.

Another way is to use a lookup parameter if you want to enable a combobox when the user select the block

Then use two stretch actions, associate with the linear parameter.

You need to insert a field, if you want to extract the  code of the block associate with the new dimensions.
