In order to speed up performance, the display of certain kinds of objects can be simplified. If you display wide polylines (PLINE) and donuts (DONUT), solid-filled polygons, hatches (HATCH), gradient fills, and TEXT in a simplified form, the display... Read More

With the ASCISIN command, you can import geometry objects stored in SAT (ASCII) files. Using ACISIN you can convert the model to a body object or to 3D solids and regions if the body is a true solid or a true region.   Read More

In the current drawing, you can use one block to replace another one, moreover, you can purge the unreferenced block when the operation is finished. Menu : Express tools>Blocks>Replace Block Command Entry : BLOCKREPLACE  Select a block to... Read More

Although the majority of parameters only taken into effect when operations are matched with actions, there are exceptions, base point parameter is one of them. 1．Define blocks Define block and draw a circle in the block editor, as shown in the... Read More

When you use the "roughness symbol block" to label the spare parts, the symbol is sometimes already in the right position, however, the characters' direction is not right. We need to add the "character flip" function to receive the correct label... Read More

Imports block attribute values from an external, tab-delimited ASCII file. Menu : Express>Blocks>Import Attribute Information Command Entry : ATTIN Using ATTIN and ATTOUT together, you can quickly make changes to attribute values for selected... Read More

For the Array function of Dynamic Block we need to use Array Action, we use Array Action to match with Linear Parameter, Polar Parameter, XY Parameter to achieve various Arrays. Linear Array As below, we will use Array to achieve a fast draw and... Read More

Scale Action can be matched with the Linear Parameter, Polar and XY Parameter to achieve various Dynamic effects. Linear Scale 1.Draw Finish drawing an access hole in a model space and define it as a block, as shown in the following picture.   2... Read More

Lineweights are width values of graphical objects and some types of text. You can use lineweights to draw heavy and thin lines. For example, heavy lines for walls in architecture drawing but thin lines for them in electrical drawing. Lineweights are... Read More
