AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks Tutorial: Array Action

[@NavySturmGewehr]

I'm trying to create an array of studs, but when I set the distance to 16" and set the array distance to 16", it doesn't array the first stud until after I set the point to 32 in. What might be causing that?

I would be happy to take a look at your file, if you would like to share it with me. [e-mail]

@@betweencadclasses I just changed the offset of the grip and now it looks proper. It might not be the right thing to do but it worked!

@@NavySturmGewehr glad you got it figured out! Thanks for watching!

Great block if you know the array distance. How about if the array distance is variable? To be more explicit: once if have a 9 foot distance, the next time I may need 12 foot distance, and so on. Can the distance parameter be linked to a formula the block will pop up?

[@betweencadclasses]

Hmmmm that is a good question. I can't say I have ever done that before. I will toy around with it and let you know if I figure something out.

​@@betweencadclassesI have the same problem: it's impossible to set a variabile distance of the array Have you found anything about this problem?

[@betweencadclasses]

@@alessandrostocco1733 Unfortunately, no. I wonder if it can be done via programming such as AutoLISP. Unfortunately learning that is still on my to-do list. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
