Hello everyone, I need your help.



I am a plumbing draughtsman, and I use dynamic block pipes that I can stretch or resize. I also use various fittings like elbows, tees, etc. I want to know if there is a way to use a lisp or command to insert my predefined dynamic block so that it follows a line or polyline route previously drawn, similar to how it's done in Revit. I am using the full version of AutoCAD 2026 for my 2D work. Can someone please enlighten me

A single block (just align) or an array following the polyline path?

The automatic alignment is a part of the dynamic blocks parameters. See e.g.:

And for the array, you can use

See e.g.:
