I am currently a mechanical maintenance technician with a process company in Nigeria. In March, last year, I lost a very good mechanical process piping engineer trainee job opportunity simply because I had no knowledge about AutoCAD drawings at all. I am currently training myself in AutoCAD drawings on youtube and today, i am pretty versed with 2D and 3D AutoCAD drawings, command tools e.t.c. Right now, I am trying to train myself to becoming a mechanical process piping designer/engineer. How relevant is blocks, especially dynamic blocks to the drawing and modelling activities of a piping designer/engineer. I just want to be sure that I am on the right path and that my efforts at learning and understanding the concept of dynamic blocks will be very expedient and handy in piping and equipment designing and modelling, quotations, routing e.t.c. because that's my end goal. Please, If you have advice or videos that will help me easily and quickly achieve this goal of mine, please help me with them and I will very most grateful for the assistance. Thanks!
@@OnyekachukwuNwani-mj9ph For any industry that uses symbology to convey information, such as the piping or electrical or civil industries, AutoCAD Blocks streamline the drawing production by treating a group of objects as 1 entity. This eases selection, placement, mass editing, etc of the unified object(s). Dynamic Blocks can be used when multiple configurations such as size changes, design or status changes (open valve vs closed valve), or positional changes are considered.
hello there. i just wonder how to add quotations to dynamic block. is that possible that quotations will change with block size like width and height? for example you place dynamic block you created (book shelves) but you want to see dimensions next to it.
Thank you so much for this video. It's been very immensely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

@@Hagerman Ok. Thanks a million!
Thank you! Really helpful! This video describe every thing you need to know! 😃
It would be helpful if you could make the switch change color with on and off or open and closed for expediency and clarity. Is that possible?
