Cad Dynamic Blocks UPDATED Download

[Lain Lattin]

Hi Pascal, thank you for your reply. Pointing the block to another linked file would either change all identical blocks in the same model or the name would need to be changed. It would solve a single issue though.

Hi Jarek,

thanks for your answer. You are right, this could work very well! Scripting has not been necessary before, so we will need to look into that. Blocks have disadvantages like you wrote. Another thing that does not work with blocks is splitting / boolean etc. We would have to explode the blocks anyway. But with you idea that might even work?

Kind regards, Koert.


I agree with the posts above as well. Rhino is almost there in replacing AutoCad in our engineering office as well for 2D work. Since we have worksheets in the same way that paper space exist in AutoCad we only need Dynamic blocks function/library to transfer our library of items or at least have the possibility to create new ones in Rhino.


Same issue here. We want to kick away AutoCAD (architecture, furniture design). Rhino is almost there in being as good as AutoCAD for 2D drawings. Only problem: The mac version is very limited for layouts, has some bugs and dynamic blocks are missing. I see the future of Rhino in trying to be the only 2d/3d Application you might need. Especially for small companies. That would increase the client base enormously.






Having dynamic blocks for 2d and 3d would probably the best thing ever done in a program. It would help creating and modifying everything soooo fast.

Imagine you have a construction/detail dynamic block in 3d. You drag it in, modify it the way needed and use the command section to create the 2d drawing needed for production?


A huge risk we run into with importing DWG and DXF, Rhino shows the dynamic block, but directly shows all options the block has. In some cases makers of dynamic blocks have a right or left version in mind. Long or short etc. The risk is this: we cannot recognize if a block is static or dynamic. Whether the maker wants to show an option or the full thing.

It would be GREAT if the functionality of these dynamic blocks would just stay in tact.


Dynamic block is a parametric block. Type is one kind of constrained topology and instances are just different values to those parametres. It makes perfect sense. All angle retaining wall look the same just parameters are different so you create one dynamick block and have different instances.


Exactly. Well said. I am a drafter for a millwork shop and create block instances of things like cabinets. Often I have a bunch of cabinets that are all identical in size but certain details like number of drawers are different from one cabinet to the next. If I could make a cabinet model into a dynamic block than I could just change parameter values within a single block instead of creating a new block for each cabinet.


In the Rhino world, it would make most sense to empower blocks with Grasshopper, just like VisualArq already does. Disadvantage: how would you convert AutoCAD dynamic blocks to Rhino GH blocks? Sounds super tricky.


Yeah forget about the AutoCAD part, I guess I just mean the way their dynamic blocks function once they are built. Like when you click on a dynamic block of say, a doorway, you can enter a value to change the swing direction, the opening width, etc etc. In Rhino world I could click on a dynamic block 3D model of a kitchen cabinet and tell it how many drawers it needs or change the height and width.


For many dynamic blocks, the save callback function should be returned as null, which tells the editor to save only the block attributes to the database. These attributes are then passed into the server-side rendering callback, so you can decide how to display the block on the front end of your site. When you return null, the editor will skip the block markup validation process, avoiding issues with frequently-changing markup.


I'll join the club. I have been trying for at least a year now to create a super mega dynamic block similar to the original poster's dilemma. I have created my base dynamic block which turned out well. But when I added in attributes and texts that would be annotative without the objects being scaled, it's now an issue. I just wish, though, that the Visibility parameter can be used multiple times within a DB. I think this would help a lot of people creating special dynamic blocks.


I see now, I can create a symbol with two text blocks, each linked to a different record, and I need to do that by editing the symbol itself, and using the 'link text to record' command on each text block.


If you look closer at the examples above you will see, that this are not really 3D Dynamic Blocks. There is no dynamic in Z-direction. It is only a dynamic 2D-Geometry with a constant elevation (Extrusion) in Z-direction. And it is also restricted to Surfaces (because we can create surfaces which are assoziative to their (2D-)source geometry. For 3D-Solids this will not work.

garylzimmer did a good job to show us this possibility and I appreciate it. But I guess in the practical work we will rarely can use it.


A common problem in Terraform configurations for versions 0.11 and earlier is dealing with situations where the number of values or resources is decided by a dynamic expression rather than a fixed count. The general problem of iteration is a big one to solve and Terraform 0.12 introduces a few different features to improve these capabilities, namely for expressions and for_each blocks. We also discuss further enhancements that will come later.


Several resource types use nested configuration blocks to define repeatable portions of their configuration. Terraform 0.12 introduces a new construct for dynamically constructing a collection of nested configuration blocks.


For example, the aws_autoscaling_group resource type uses nested blocks to declare tags that may or may not be propagated to any created EC2 instances. The example below shows the Terraform 0.11 and earlier syntax:


Because these nested blocks are validated statically, it was previously difficult or impossible to implement more dynamic behaviors. Some users found ways to exploit some implementation details to trick Terraform into partially supporting dynamic generation of blocks, but these workarounds were unreliable because Terraform makes assumptions about nested blocks that do not hold for arbitrary expressions.


A dynamic "tag" block behaves as if a separate tag block were written for each element of the list or map given in the for_each argument. Because dynamic is itself given as a nested block, all of the same syntax constructs can be used within its content block that would normally be valid in a literal tag block, and both static and dynamic tag blocks can be mixed as shown above. This enables arbitrarily complex behaviors as necessary.


Since the for_each argument accepts any list or map expression, this feature can be combined with for expressions as described above to create nested blocks based on arbitrary transformations of other list and map values:


We still recommend that you avoid writing overly-abstract, dynamic configurations as a general rule. These dynamic features can be useful when creating reusable modules, but over-use of dynamic behavior will hurt readability and maintainability. Explicit is better than implicit, and direct is better than indirect.


The dynamic block construct described previously includes the idea of iterating over a list or map using the for_each argument, which is intended as a more intuitive and useful way to create dynamic nested blocks compared to the count argument on resources.


During the development of Terraform 0.12 we've also laid the groundwork for supporting for_each directly inside a resource or data block as a more convenient way to create a resource instance for each element in a list or map. Unfortunately we will not be able to fully complete this feature for the Terraform 0.12 initial release, but we plan to include this in a subsequent release to make it easier to dynamically construct multiple resource instances of the same type based on elements of a given map. The example below shows future Terraform syntax, not included in the initial 0.12 release:


Again, we have been laying the groundwork for this during Terraform 0.12 development and expect to complete this work in a later release. Along with count, module blocks will also accept the new for_each argument described for resources above, with similar results.

AutoCAD blocks combine a collection of objects into a single named object. More specifically, blocks can be saved and reused to cut down time on duplication and create a consistent look for items in your workflow. Dynamic blocks take that one step further, allowing you to change the shape, size, and configuration of an existing block instead of creating many static block definitions. We are just grazing the surface of Dynamic Blocks; there are tons more applications, so let us know if there is anything more we can share in the future.


I'm new to the concept of Dynamic Blocks, however i have a sizeable drawing estate that is built almost entirely of Dynamic blocks. The task is to replace each Dynamic block with a singular block reference, but before i get that far, i need to know what we're facing.


You can use the command WBLOCK to export a block out to it's own DWG-file. Are the blocks nested, as in, blocks within blocks? That could be tricky, if all blocks on all levels needs to be exported. You can use the Design center (command ADCENTER) to see all the blocks in your drawing, my quick search didn't find a way from there to export them out to individual DWGs though.


it is common to build dynamic block with multiple visibility states. These could be showing different sub blocks but I would normally just hide or make visible lines & text. As Tiger said, you can WBLOCK to export the dynamic block.
