Dynamic Blocks

BricsCAD partly supports dynamic blocks, you can:

• insert dynamic blocks from your existing dynamic blocks libraries

• edit the custom properties in the Properties Bar

• grip edit dynamic blocks

The creation of new dynamic blocks is not possible yet. Instead of offering dynamic block functionality, BricsCAD focuses entirely on parametrics.
