Efficient AutoCAD Workflow with Dynamic Blocks

Hey AutoCAD pro, sick of spending ages on repetitive tasks like drawing door headers on your ceiling plan?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out this genius technique created by an AutoCAD whiz that’ll save you heaps of time and help you avoid errors in your projects.


Introducing the “lazy 2×1” trick – it involves modifying your door block in AutoCAD using the block editor to add a door header visibility state.

By doing this, you can easily switch between the door and header visibility states without having to draw the header separately on your ceiling plan.

Plus, you can assign the header to stretch, flip, and rotation actions to ensure it adjusts with the door block as needed.


This technique is a game-changer, boosting both your productivity and accuracy. And, it’s a great example of how to work smarter, not harder, in AutoCAD. So, if you’re looking to streamline your workflow and improve your efficiency, why not give the “lazy 2×1” method a go? You might be surprised at just how much time and energy it saves you!
