In this introductory lesson, you’ll get a complete overview of what you’ll be learning throughout the course. We’ll walk through the key actions and parameters that form the foundation of Dynamic Blocks—including Stretch, Move, Rotate, Scale, Chaining, Constraints, and more.
This course is fully project-based, making it ideal for beginners and anyone looking to boost their drafting speed and confidence in AutoCAD.
Start here to discover how to create clean, efficient, and professional Dynamic Blocks that will transform your workflow.
Learn how to combine a parameter with an action using the Stretch Action and the Linear Parameter.
Learn how to rotate geometry using a Rotate Action and a Rotation Parameter
Learn how to move entities inside of a block with the Grip Parameter and the Move Action.
Learn how to scale geometry inside of a block using the Leaner Parameter and the Scale Action.
Learn how to flip geometry inside of a block with the Flip Action and Flip Parameter.
You will learn how to hide and unhide entities using the visibility states action.
You will learn:
How to combine actions on a single parameter
How to use an Array action
How to use incremental Parameters
How to set a maximum and minimum value to a parameter
You will learn:
How to use the Angle offset action property.
How to use the Distance multiplier action property.
In this exercise you will build upon the things you’ve already learnt with a practice example.
You will learn how to rotate and stretch geometry at the same time, using a polar parameter and polar stretch action.
How to work with unchained parameters, using the Rotate action.
Practice unchained actions using the Stretch and Move actions and the Linear Parameter.
Practice Unchained actions with the Flip, Rotate and Move Actions
You will learn:
How to work with chained actions.
How to flip an object without mirroring it.
Learn how to use the Base point parameter.
Challenge yourself to apply your knowledge and solve the problem of the crane!
Unlock the full power of AutoCAD with this complete, hands-on course dedicated entirely to Dynamic Blocks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced drafter looking to level up your workflow, this project-based training will teach you how to create smart, flexible, and professional-grade blocks that save time, improve accuracy, and transform the way you work in a fun and engaging way.
Dynamic Blocks are one of the most under-used but most powerful features in AutoCAD and after this course, you’ll be able to build them with confidence.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this course, you will be able to create fully functional Dynamic Blocks using a wide range of Actions, Parameters, and Constraints, including:

No previous experience with Dynamic Blocks is required. If you know the basics of AutoCAD, you’re ready!
Course Structure & Method
This is a project-based course with clear, step-by-step demonstrations. You’ll learn by doing, not just watching.
Each lesson introduces a new tool or concept, followed by practical examples and guided exercises. You’ll learn how to use actions in a way you can apply to your own work without getting bogged down with theory.
Included in the Course
Written Instructions
Starter Files
Sample blocks to study and reverse-engineer
Why Dynamic Blocks?
