Generating trajectories with Dynamic Blocks + Updating Table Data

Hello fellow CAD users,

I am currently working on Drilling project that involves the creation of dynamic blocks with trajectories, and I am encountering some difficulties. Specifically, I am having trouble finding a way to generate trajectories, and I would like to have data in a table generated and updating when I change points on a trajectory.

I have tried a few different methods, but I am a beginner in  using motion constraints and dynamic parameters, so I am still not getting the results I need. Additionally, I have been unable to find a way to generate and update table data automatically as I change the points on the trajectory.

Can anyone provide some guidance on the best way to generate trajectories line in dynamic blocks and update data in a table accordingly? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. The trajectory I am speaking about is a combination of straight lines and arcs constraint by their radii's. All in 2D.

To provide some more context, I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2024 and I am relatively experienced with the software, but I am by no means an expert. I am hoping to hear from other professionals or advanced users who have experience working with dynamic blocks and generating lines with constraints, as well as generating and updating table data.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi @Guidici_E 

A little more information would be helpful; a sample drawing and the block in application in particular.

 

as for the table from the blocks DATAEXTRACTION would be the tool and system variable setting for update could be tweaked. The default setting update tables on open and publish/ plotting. They can be set more aggressively but may impede performance

I'll send my trial file when I'll be back at the office next week. I hope it will make more sense then. As I said I have never worked with dynamic bloc in AutoCAD before so I did my best with the info from the forum. Ill keep you posted when I am back t work
