Module 10: Blocks and annotation
Dynamic blocks
Key points
- Dynamic blocks change size, shape or visibility without making new blocks.
- Parameters and actions are added in the Block Editor to define the changes.
- One dynamic block can replace many nearly identical static blocks.
Block attributes and data extraction
Key points
- Attributes store text data such as part numbers inside a block.
- ATTDEF defines an attribute; values are filled in when the block is inserted.
- Data Extraction collects attribute values into a table or an Excel file.
