You have Exactly explained what I was looking for ! Thank you !

[lacm]

Thanks, I still hadn't decided which one to buy but now, I'm going to buy BricsCAD.

thank you ! hope to see more complicated things like fences, but the video is awesome

Hello, thank you for this video.
I have been working with AutoCAD dynamic blocks for many years and I love wat you can do with it.
As a company we are recently looking into switching from AutoCAD to BricsCAD and your video realy helped me understand how parametric blocks function.
I have just started trying to replicate my faforite functions and it looks more userfriendly, I think however that a few comments should be made:

- Your construction of the AutoCAD dynamic block is overly complicated. It would work as well with just one "wall", one alignment parameter that would tipicaly folow the wall and the 3 door states.
- Can the automatic trimming be turned off? I don't like those holes in my wall and if I remove a door later i have to fix those holes.
- In the BricsCAD Lite version the trimming and stretching to wall thickness don't work
- I had a FATAL ERROR on trying to recreate your block, because I used U shaped polylines for the 'wall" reference curves. Applying "Parametrize" will cause a fatal error (same hapens with a rectangle ofcourse) But it took me a while to figure out what I did wrong.
- In AutoCAD a dynamic block wil resnap to alignment when moved to another place, which parametric blocks don't
- I have noticed that dynamic blocks can be used and manipulated in BricsCAD but not edited and I have not found the convertor yet (V23 Beta?)
- Parametric blocks lose all functionality in Autocad and become just plain Blocks.
- I don't like that the parameters are only accessible through the properties palet.

I hope it is clear wat mean.

Awesome video! I have tried, but with the flip and stretch, often my door became weird one...

Thanks for the video, need more parametric blocks?

[ramkumargourarajula]

I believe parametric is the best one, because all drawings should be driving from dimensions.
Can we make parametric design in autocad with vlookup option?
Because some times dimensions not driving from relation that can be lookup with respect another?

The flipline command should leave choosing the entities to flip. Is there is text in the block the text flipping too, it's a problem

[gabrielacasavilca]

The flipline command only allow flip all entities, I think it should allow choose which entities we want to flip. I have a problem especially with text

Hello Thank you from South America.

Do you Know the best Python module for AutoCAD?

SabeeCad why is it that in Autocad hatches we don't have earth embankment hatch, till date.
