Table Of Contents
Parameters Manager Opens the Parameters Manager palette that includes all
dimensional constraint parameters, reference parameters, and user variables
in the current drawing.
Authoring Palettes Opens the Block Authoring Palettes window in the Block
Editor.
Block Editor Settings Displays the Block Editor Settings dialog box.
Action Parameters Panel
Point (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines custom X and Y properties for the
block reference.
Linear (
BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines the distance between two key
points in the block definition.
Polar (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines a distance and angle for two key
points in the block definition.
XY (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines an X and Y distance from the base
point of a block definition.
Rotation (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines an angle for the block reference.
Flip (
BPARAMETER on page 154) Mirrors objects or the entire block reference
about a reflection line.
Alignment (BPARAMETER on page 154) Rotates the block reference about a
point to align with other objects in the drawing.
Visibility (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines objects that will either display
or not display within the block definition.
Lookup (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines user parameters that are
determined by a lookup table.
Basepoint (BPARAMETER on page 154) Defines a changeable base point for
the dynamic block reference in relation to the geometry in the block.
Move (BACTIONTOOL on page 98) Specifies that the selection set of objects
moves when the action is triggered in a dynamic block reference. A move
action can be associated with a point, linear, polar, or XY parameter.
Stretch (
BACTIONTOOL on page 98) Specifies that the selection set of objects
will stretch or move when the action is triggered in a dynamic block reference.
A stretch action can be associated with a point, linear, polar, or XY parameter.
