You can define and control
values for parameters and properties within a block definition using
a Block Properties table.
The Block Properties
Table dialog box consists of a grid with
parameters defining column headings and rows defining the different
property set values. When selecting a block reference, it can be set
to the values defined by one of the rows in the block properties
table.
A table can include any
of the following parameters and properties:
- Action parameters
- User parameters
- Constraint parameters
- Attributes
NoteOnly one table is
allowed in the block definition.
You can restrict the
property set for block references to only values defined by one
of the rows of the table. You can also change individual properties
of the reference so that the property set no longer matches one
of the defined rows.
To add parameter properties
to a block table
- In the Block Editor, double-click a block
properties table in the block definition.
- In the Block Properties Table dialog
box, click Add Properties.
- In the Add Parameter Properties dialog
box, under the Parameter Properties list, select the parameter properties
you want to add to the block table. Hold Ctrl to select more than
one property.
- Click OK.
To check for errors in
a block properties table
- In the Block Properties Table dialog
box, click Audit.
CommandsBCPARAMETER
Applies constraint parameters
to selected objects, or converts dimensional constraints to parameter
constraints.
BTABLE
Displays a dialog box
to define variations of a block.
DIMCONSTRAINT
Applies dimensional
constraints to selected objects or points on objects, or converts
associative dimensions to dimensional constraints.
System VariablesBCONSTATUSMODE
