Topic: Creating dynamic blocks

[Tasaq]

I need to create a BlockReference that will have DynamicBlockTableRecord containing ExtesionDictionary with ACAD_ENHANCEDBLOCK (so I have that triangular girp visible after inserting block). I know the logic behind EvalGraph so it should be easy for me to edit it, but I have no idea how to create and add it to the dictionary. Is there any way to achieve this?

I don't see there anythng I could use. Most of the code there uses already existing blocks or inserts it from dwg file.

I don't know if it's possible, I've never done it myself.

Maybe someone else can chime in that knows more.

I also stumbled upon this post today. It seems it's not possible with current API. It's a shame, it would give so many interesting possibilities.

Creating anything more than a simple block would be easier to do manually, given all the tools and interfaces are already provided inside AutoCAD.

You can't create a dynamic block definition in code but can manipulate dynamic properties of existing blocks
