BENEFITS

Don’t worry, just copy – then edit

You can copy a dynamic block multiple times, and manipulate every copy depending on the parameter set like length, width, and height, all without affecting the others. The “copy-explode-create new block” will be a thing of the past. Once you use our dynamic blocks, you’ll never go back.

Workflow Optimized

Add our dynamic blocks to your custom Tool Palette so you can drag and drop them into any project you are currently working on. Manipulate the block in real-time using the added functionalities* like flip (mirror) without typing the command separately. The annotative elements integrated into some of our blocks assures you that every time you insert or drag them into your drawing they will automatically resize to match your chosen drawing scale. FEWER CLICKS, FEWER WORRIES.

*added functionalities vary per block
