#HOW TO CREATE DYNAMIC BLOCKS IN AUTOCAD 2013 WINDOWS 10#

Yes, ICPR installs on Windows 10 and even runs quite a bit faster but Windows 10 broke the ability to remote in and ICPR continue to run (it crashed the app for some reason back when we first tried it). I also do this for our Engineers who are required to use ICPR v3 on Windows XP with USB redirect software for the USB hardware lock, so Engineers can remote in to run/edit drainage models nights and weekends without having to come into the office.

Now he doesn't have to upgrade until he's ready to do so. We already owned the licensing for Windows XP, AutoCAD 2000 and Eagle Point. He simply double clicks to go back in time.

I converted his old workstation to VM, moved it to the server, added something to NETLOGON script to copy it local for him (so we get the CYA of network backups & local disk performance), and configured an RDP file so that when he double clicks, it logs him in with saved credentials. I do this for our surveyor, who also happens to be the Vice President of the firm, who insists on using AutoCAD 2000 + Eagle Point on Windows XP. You can download the same block with the dynamic attribute here to see it for yourself.If you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can enable Client Hyper-V and simply convert your existing Windows 7 physical machine into a virtual machine (VM) using DISKTOVHD, then host that VM from your new Windows 10 physical machine's local disk (where it will be faster), the network file server (where it can be backed up), etc and simply remote into that machine using RDP file.

The new defined attribute will appear, and if we change the width of the steps (and REGEN the drawing) the field will update with the new distance. Wen we finish defining the attribute we simply exit the Block editor mode and insert a new instance of the block. Update: Make sure that the attribute is NOT set to constant, otherwise it will not update when beeing modified. One extra step that helps in the process is to select the attribute to be constant (so we don't get a prompt asking its value). In this case I renamed the parameter "Distance" as "Width". We will see all the parameters of a dynamic block listed here, plus other properties such as layer, color, etc. The type of field we need to add is a "Block Place Holder". To insert the field we will click on the Box near the Default value Box. For its default value we will ad "Width: " and after that is where we will insert the field. Once we are in Block Editor Mode and we type ATTDEF we will get the Attribute Definition dialog Box. To make things simpler, you can download the block here.

We will attempt, as an example, to add a text that will show us the width of the steps in the escalator block.

We will use that block as a reference to explain how to add a dynamic attribute.

The block allowed its length and width to be modified using parameters and actions. In a previous post, I went through the process of creating a dynamic block of an escalator with dynamic properties. If you need to display certain changing properties of a dynamic block you can do it using Attributes and Fields
