BLOOKUPTABLE
Displays or creates a lookup table for a dynamic block definition.
BSAVE
Saves the current block definition.
BSAVEAS
Saves a copy of the current block definition under a new name.
BVSTATE
Creates, sets, or deletes a visibility state in a dynamic block.
Add Constraints to Dynamic Blocks
You can add geometric and dimensional constraints to a dynamic block.
Overview of Constraints in Dynamic Blocks
When you add constraints to a dynamic block definition, you have the option
of adding editable properties that control the parameters once they are inserted
in a drawing.
Geometric Constraints in Block Definitions
You can add geometric constraints to blocks the same way you would to
geometry outside of the Block Editor. Geometric constraints are available both
on the ribbon and on the Block Authoring palettes.
Dimensional Constraints in Block Definitions
A dimensional constraint applied within the Block Editor using the
BCPARAMETER command is called a constraint parameter. While you can use
both dimensional constraints and constraint parameters in a block definition,
only constraint parameters will display editable custom properties for that
block reference.
Constraint parameters contain parameter information that can be displayed
or edited for the block reference.
