Hi Chris,

Could I possibly get the Section Line dynamic block?

My email is: vigan@talktalk.net

Thank you

There are hundreds of dynamic blocks I've made of the years that I'm particularly proud of but a lot of them are very specific to our company and some I don't want out into the public because I'd like to be selfish 😉 but here's one I wouldn't mind sharing as I bet it could be useful to some people.

It's a block for the short backset 32mm Lockwood 5582 mortise lock. It has multiple views of all of the multiple different configurations possible for furniture (plate hardware).

Victoria,

What a great thread post for all AutoCAD users especially beginners and students or users eager to learn how to develop their Dynamic Block knowledge. Also it is very good how these can be shared with the community.

Here is a power cable (AWG) that folks may find useful.

if someone is having trouble with wipeouts try using dwg to pdf to print with.

[timothy_crouse]

Nice Work!

Could you offer a little guidance on how you create teh sub menus?  I do not seem to be able to get into what looks like a block table inside your block.  I figured that is where all the magic is happening.

Thanks

Tim

graphic scale imperial. insert at the dimscale of the drawing (ex. 48 for 1/4", 96 for 1/8"). also north arrow insert 1:1 will adjust to cannonscale.

You can download DWG Trueview and save it down yourself if you want.

I am not seeing any dynamic functionality in the posted block.

Here is a block I created for our office to help with doing sections and details.   We kept running into cases where things were getting skewed due to errant stretches, etc. so this block solved a lot of those issues.   It is a dynamic metal stud wall with the following abilities:

• You can stretch to any length/height you need.
• You can select the stud size
• You can turn the bottom track on or off (this also works well with base details by flipping upside down and turning the track off which is now at the top.

Please review and provide feedback

Thanks

Here are some updates to dynamic hardware  and unistrut pieces.

Hope this saves some folks time.

Here are updated dynamic hardware and struct pieces.

I found many small issues re;ated to wipeouts and plotting.

Blocks have been organized on borders

Included STB plot style for folks that want to see what the plotted intent on my side was.

Added separate hardware wipeout for better control

Added separate hatching layer for better transparency and p;otting control.

Named plot style laid out to provide multiple resolution options to avoid black smudging hardware in plotted outputs regardless of the viewport scale (thats the intent anyways :))

Nice block, @ChrisMackayOpticad. Do you have problems with the wipeouts printing correctly: solid black or gray instead of white?

Nancy if you are having trouble with wipeouts print using (DWG to PDF) as the printer.
