In ‘ AutoCAD block best practices’, Edwin takes the concept of creating and managing AutoCAD Blocks and, in his usual clear style, walks you through the steps to create simple, useful reusable content.Įdwin then takes it up a gear, running through Block Attributes, Dynamic Blocks and Blocks with parametric constraints to really boost your productivity. With the addition of Parametric Geometrical constraints, AutoCAD Blocks can become a mini content generator, with many different block configurations held inside one block definition.

With the addition of Block Attributes, AutoCAD Blocks can be used to create a database of information for you to use in conjunction with your drawings. Blocks can contain Fields, which read data from the drawing in real time. Blocks can be used for drawing symbols (such as a northing arrow or a scale bar) or to represent real world objects (such as a desk or a computer).īlocks are commonly used for your drawing’s Title block, and they can also be used for organising your companies typical detail library.īut AutoCAD Blocks can be more than a simple ‘cut & paste’ tool. It’s about time then that I make sure that you all know one of Edwin’s most successful side projects, his E-book ‘ AutoCAD Block best practices’.Īs I hope that you all know, AutoCAD’s Blocks are a great way of improving your productivity by re-using content when creating your drawings. Since then, Edwin and I have been in touch and I am also proud to have contributed a few articles to CAD-Notes myself. It’s also great to have a little competition ) His Blog has been influential on both the design and the writing style of. I have long since admired Edwins clean, concise and logically structured articles. Little did I know that Edwin himself had only started CAD-Notes a few months before! Back in 2009 when I first started writing the CAD Setter Out, one of the blogs that inspired me to begin was ‘’ by the Mighty Edwin Prakoso.
