Basic Algebra (Useful, but not needed)
Description
This 11-lesson course is a focused, in-depth exploration of how to use Dimensional and Geometric Constraints to precisely control Dynamic Block geometry in AutoCAD. If you've ever struggled with unpredictable block behavior or wanted cleaner, more intelligent block setups, this course is designed for you.You'll learn how to:Constrain geometry accurately and predictablyMove and control geometry using constraintsUse formulas to drive dimensionsWork with angles, rotations, and central pointsBuild flexible, intelligent blocks using constraint-based workflowsEach lesson includesWG example filesStarter files to follow alongClear written instructionsYou'll learn how to apply constraints to lock geometry into place with accuracy and intent, ensuring your blocks behave consistently every time. Step by step, the course shows you how to move and control geometry using constraints rather than relying solely on actions, giving you a more robust and stable workflow. You'll also discover how to use formulas to drive dimensions, allowing your blocks to respond intelligently to user input.The lessons cover essential concepts such as working with angles, rotations, and central points, helping you build flexible, parametric blocks that adapt to real-world design requirements. Throughout the course, the emphasis is on practical, repeatable techniques you can immediately apply to your own projects.Each lesson includes downloadable DWG example files, starter files so you can follow along at your own pace, and clear written instructions to reinforce the concepts being taught.This course is the perfect companion to the Actions & Parameters Dynamic Blocks course, giving you a complete, well-rounded understanding of both constraint-based and action-based approaches to building powerful, efficient Dynamic Blocks in AutoCAD.
Who this course is for
AutoCAD Users that want to get to grips with dynamic blocks for the first time, or expand their knowledge and understanding.
