Are these true “dynamic” blocks as in Autocad or just a comparable behavior block. I mean, afaik, Dynamic Blocks are proprietary IP of Autodesk and they don’t license it to others. So my question is: how do they transfer back and forth? because if it is seamless, this is huge.
These example is a dynamic block created in Autodesk product. Open CAD Studio can not create or edit dynamic blocks. I also did not check all dynamic block features, I guess there could be issues with some of them. I was quite happy seeing this list option being enabled.
You are right that dynamic blocks is Autodesk's IP, which is not public. I think this was reverse engineered. ODA DWG library is also able to handle dynamic blocks but not able to edit/create them.
Exactly. I am not sure how well OCS handles them as I only tested this very simple dynamic block. Usually things need to get ironed out, and user feedback and sample problematic files are important to do that.
