Malcolm Crowe Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) CAXA Symbols are special Blocks of Geometry (and Attributes) that are stored within the "Part Library". They are special in that they can be easily drag and dropped into the drawing, can contain multiple views, and can be driven by parameters (similar to AUTOCAD's Dynamic Blocks). The attached videos demonstrate how CAXA Symbols can be used for creating and inserting Parametric Sectioning Symbols (where the length can be adjusted). 1. Defining and Inserting (the process or steps involved) 2. The use of Expressions (for defining geometry locations) and Part Library Manager (for editing existing symbols). This is a very basic example of a Parametric Symbol, with only one driving dimension. Hopefully the process is simple enough to encourage users to try this capability for themselves. Note that the process is similar for more complex symbols with multiple driving dimensions.
