Dynamic Blocks Editing in ARES Commander

Working with Dynamic Blocks

ARES Commander is introducing Dynamic Blocks Editing. You can now edit these smart blocks and configure them using grips and options.

1
00:00:09,40 –> 00:00:13,919
ARES Commander 2015 can work with dynamic blocks.

2
00:00:14,260 –> 00:00:17,60
A dynamic block differs from a traditional block

3
00:00:17,500 –> 00:00:22,200
because it has assigned parameters allowing it to change shape …

4
00:00:30,40 –> 00:00:36,19
… in several drawings within the same file, or change its proportions through grips.

5
00:00:39,400 –> 00:00:41,920
In this example, the scale.

6
00:00:42,120 –> 00:00:45,339
Here, the length …

7
00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:49,400
… and here we modify how far the thread goes.

8
00:00:51,340 –> 00:00:53,700
In this example you see a tree.

9
00:00:53,880 –> 00:00:54,760
When selected,

10
00:00:56,480 –> 00:01:03,580
you can choose between an appearance with foliage, without foliage or a schematic look.

11
00:01:04,280 –> 00:01:08,160
With this grip, we can change the size, thanks to the scale.

12
00:01:10,20 –> 00:01:15,300
In this example, we can rotate the block to change the location of the compass point north.

13
00:01:16,940 –> 00:01:18,940
Just by moving the grip.

Changing Window Size

14
00:01:19,540 –> 00:01:22,560
Here we can change the width of the window,

15
00:01:23,620 –> 00:01:24,700
the height

16
00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:28,20
and even till where the blinds go.

17
00:01:29,260 –> 00:01:33,660
In this other example, we also have the ability to change the width,

18
00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:37,400
the height,

19
00:01:38,20 –> 00:01:41,140
and select different types of woodwork for a drawing

20
00:01:41,800 –> 00:01:44,440
and then modify it to the size you want.

21
00:01:52,940 –> 00:01:59,200
We can, for example, adapt the door to this space just by dragging this grip.

22
00:02:03,80 –> 00:02:09,699
In this example, we can see that a dynamic block also has the ability to “flip”.

23
00:02:13,380 –> 00:02:16,920
A dynamic block can not only allow you to change the width

24
00:02:17,780 –> 00:02:21,420
but also includes an array property.

25
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:35,420
Ares Commander 2015 can work with dynamic blocks containing difficulties.

26
00:02:36,160 –> 00:02:37,440
Consider this example.

27
00:02:39,120 –> 00:02:40,400
Thanks to this grip

28
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:43,40
when approaching a line …

29
00:02:44,580 –> 00:02:46,580
… it automatically aligns

30
00:02:49,220 –> 00:02:51,140
only by approaching with the pointer.

A New Example

31
00:02:51,880 –> 00:02:53,880
Here is another example.

32
00:02:55,180 –> 00:02:58,600
The truth is that there can be very complex
dynamic blocks

33
00:02:58,860 –> 00:03:02,760
but Ares Commander 2015 can work with any
of them.

34
00:03:06,140 –> 00:03:09,339
For example, here we can change the fence
type

35
00:03:11,700 –> 00:03:14,399
and even the number of items displayed.

36
00:03:16,40 –> 00:03:21,179
To learn more about the possibilities of dynamic blocks in Ares Commander 2015

00:03:21,520 –> 00:03:25,740
you can go to the software help that opens by pressing F1.

38
00:03:27,260 –> 00:03:29,260
Or by pressing this icon.

39
