Add More Parameters and Constraints to Dynamic Blocks

[acadwishlist]

Summary: Add more parameters and contrainst to dynamic blocks, and include the ability to use equations in these parameters.

Description: I would like AutoCAD to have more parameters and constraints to apply to dynamic blocks, and the ability to use equations in these parameters (much like sketching with constraints in Inventor).

How Used: The parameters and actions for dynamic blocks in the current block editor are not enough to do more complex geometry and linework similar to sketching in Inventor with constraints. This would make creation of dynamic blocks vastly quicker and easier, for all kinds of uses, i.e., civil (parking island blocks), mechanical (any number of mechanical shapes), etc.

Feature Affinity: Blocks

In the AutoCAD 2010 press materials, this wishlist item is mentioned as one of the upgraded features. I think Dynamic Blocks is a feature that AutoDesk is probably going to expand and push on their own, although I could be very wrong.
