DraftSight is a 2D CAD drafting and 3D design software, which offers a user-friendly interface that is easy to learn and master. It contains essential productivity tools, which enable users to create, edit, view, and share both 2D and 3D DWG files. DraftSight provides advanced tools and API capabilities for designers seeking to enhance their workflow and optimize resources, With the help of Dynamic Block reference multiple block data can be added into a single block set, for Editing and representation.  

Let’s understand how Dynamic Block would enhance your Designing Process:

Supporting multiple visibility elements within a single custom block increases drafting efficiency and flexibility. You can create more intricate and dynamic design by having unparalleled control and customization over the visibility of different entities at any given time. Dynamic Block Reference can be used for this.  

Block definitions that are adaptable, reusable, and simple to work with in a drawing can be made with dynamic block reference. Dynamic blocks are particularly useful for objects that need to change shape, size, orientation, or other properties depending on specific requirements.

Example of Using a Dynamic Block:

Let’s say you have a dynamic block for a door, with parameters for width, height, and swing direction:

• When you insert the block, you can specify the width and height using grips.
• You can also flip the door’s swing direction using a flip action.
• The door can also have a visibility parameter to show a different configuration, like a closed or open door.

Let’s say there are multiple configurations of a specific assembly, list of the said assembly can be added with the help of Dynamic Block and viewed in just a click.
