    Question Re-using Dynamic Blocks to make new ones

    Is there a way anyone knows of that I can copy my dynamic block for a door by manufacturer "A", modify it with manufacturer B's options, and change the name of the block instead of going through all the steps and recreating all of the parameters and actions?

    you betcha!!
    in the upper left of the BE (block editor), you'll find 3 icons, one is to open another block, one is to save the current block in BE, and 3rd from left is to 'SaveAs'. (I do this all the time for similar blocks)
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    Sometimes (*whispering*) I even copy the geometry from one block in BE into another. Some say it's cheating, I say it's being crafty.
