Topics in this section

• Overview of Actions and Parameters

  Parameters, actions, and their relationships (dependencies) are displayed in different ways in the Block Editor. You can specify settings for some of these elements.

• Add Parameters to Dynamic Blocks

  Parameters determine the geometry that will be affected by an action when you manipulate a block reference.

• Add Actions to Dynamic Blocks

  Actions define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference will move or change when the custom properties of the block reference are manipulated in a drawing.

• Specify Properties for Dynamic Blocks

  Control the way parameters are displayed using the Properties palette.

• Specify Value Sets for Dynamic Blocks

  You can specify a defined value set for linear, polar, XY, and rotation action parameters and all constraint parameters.

• Specify Distance and Angle Values

  Distance multiplier and angle offset override properties allow you to specify a factor by which a parameter value is increased or decreased.

• Specify Grips for Dynamic Blocks

  Custom grips can be added to manipulate the geometry of a dynamic block reference.

• Control the Visibility of Objects in a Block

  Using visibility states, you can create a block with different graphical representations.
