Setup for AutoCAD Vault Revision Block

Often an implementation of Autodesk Vault involves the use of a Vault Revision Table, which allows you to automatically update a drawing's revision table with Vault data when properties are synchronized. Read this whitepaper to learn how this feature can be added to a drawing template in AutoCAD.

Capturing AutoCAD Metadata using Fields

Most all AutoCAD drawings use blocks, most notable in the title block. These blocks contain metadata such as part number, material, description to name a few. Most companies use block attributes to capture and this metadata and store it in the drawing. This whitepaper suggests a different method of capturing this metadata by the use of fields. It also covers the use of fields in the Autodesk Vault if available at your company.

Dynamic Blocks: Creating An Incremental Stretch

This is a continuation of my last paper where I showed a few of the basic Dynamic Blocks functions. In this paper we will be talking about Stretching blocks and adding Incremental lengths or widths to the block. This will allow the user to create one block with multiple sizes within it in order to quickly adjust its size.

Dynamic Block Creation

Dynamic blocks help designers create layouts or designs very quickly. It allows multiple views, positions, and items in one easy to use block. This article describes how to create them quickly with the desired results, so follow along as we go over some of the dynamic block creation basics.
