Does Autocad LT have dynamic blocks?

What are advantages of dynamic blocks?

AutoCAD’s dynamic blocks give you increased functionality beyond standard blocks (for example, a dynamic block can symbolize multiple configurations). To create a dynamic block, you use the standard Block Editor environment, and then you add parameters and actions to specific geometry within the block.

How do you create a dynamic block?

Specify the dimensional constraints from the Constraints tab on the Block Authoring palette. Add parameters to specify which objects will be affected by an action. Add actions to define what will happen to the geometry when it is manipulated. Add properties that determine how the block is displayed in the drawing area.

How do I stretch a 3D block in AutoCAD?

To make a 3D stretch, simply create a crossing window around the objects, then right click and enter a distance (or use your mouse to reference it in space or from an existing object in your drawing.
