walkthrough tutorial for "dynamic block control"

[christian_serena]

Hi all

I'm trying to learn how to create a dynamic block that can be dynamically controlled.

I am told that it's used typically if you want two parameters to be controlled at the same time, given certain conditions.

It seems that the properties tabel needs to be filled up beforehand, with conditional parameters.

I've searched a lot online but no luck until now.

My autocad guidebook doesn't go further than simple linear parameters.

A tutorial anyone?

Thanks again

Others will talk about tutorial, I like to point to your help [F1]

https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDLT/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-AA47163A-9ECC-49FE-92DB-AB05D2691E1C

and say: Beside Tutorials Blogs and the help: Youtube is also a great source.

Take your favorite search engine and ask for: lookup table autocad

One (untested) sample clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiRRvyWmCWc

Attached : Sample what controle visibility + linear parameter by lookup table.

thank you @cadffm!

Sample clip works fine. Not untested anymore.

I could try it out myself and eventually lookup table makes sense!

I did try some search about  lookup table, however all vids seem to explain the same thing, while I am focusing to advanced control of dymanic blocks, i.e. while circle area is > 500, make another block visibile and stretch a rectagle to make it tangent to the circle...

Something linke this?

If that meets your goal I can show a video how that can be done (if you wish).  

If not, please describe more detailed what you want to achieve.

Hi,

I am off work right now, and back next week.

By your vid, @j.palmeL29YX seems to be what I meant.

Circle tangent to rectangle was a random example because I am trying to learn... I will try it out once back at work (I don't have Autocad Pc with me right now).

Thank you again!
