Dynamic Block in AutoCAD — Stretch, Flip & Visibility States (Door Example)

Описание: Learn how to create and manipulate dynamic blocks in AutoCAD, focusing on stretch, flip, and visibility states, using a door example to illustrate the concepts. In this AutoCAD tutorial, we will explore the dynamic block stretch feature, which allows you to modify the size of a block while maintaining its original shape. You will also learn how to use the dynamic block flip feature in AutoCAD to create mirrored versions of your blocks. Additionally, we will cover dynamic block visibility states in AutoCAD, which enable you to control the visibility of different components within a block. By mastering these techniques, you will be able to create complex and flexible blocks that can be easily customized to suit your design needs. Whether you are an architect, engineer, or designer, this dynamic block tutorial will help you to improve your skills in AutoCAD and increase your productivity.

Dynamic Block in AutoCAD: resize with a Stretch parameter and mirror with a Flip parameter.
Edit everything in the Block Editor (BEDIT) with Visibility States to keep one smart Door block for many sizes.

Ever wished one block could do the job of many? A Dynamic Block is a smart block that changes shape, size or orientation without creating multiple versions.

Example: Make a single ‘Door’ block that covers 2’-6”, 3’-0”, and 4’-0” by adding a Stretch action to a Linear parameter.

Add a Flip parameter to instantly mirror left/right, and use Visibility States when you need discrete options.

Result: fewer definitions, lighter DWGs, and faster edits across your plan.
