Adds a parameter with grips to a dynamic block definition.
You can use the BPARAMETER command only in the Block Editor. A parameter defines custom properties for the block reference. After you add a parameter, you must associate an action with the parameter to make the block dynamic.
The following prompts are displayed.
Block Editor contextual tab
Rotates the block reference about a point to align with other objects in the drawing.
Specifies the grip about which the block reference will rotate to align with another object in the drawing.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Determines the angle of alignment for the block reference.
Determines whether the block reference will align tangent or perpendicular to objects in the drawing.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines a changeable base point for the dynamic block reference in relation to the geometry in the block.
Determines the default location of the basepoint for the block definition. This will be the location of the basepoint grip in the block reference.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines custom X and Y properties for the block reference.
Determines the X and Y location of the point parameter in the block definition. This will be the location of the point grip in the block reference.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
Determines whether the parameter is included in the selection set of an action that is associated with a different parameter.
Defines an extended description of the Label custom property. When the block reference is inserted, this description is displayed at the bottom of the Properties palette.
Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.

Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.
Limits the available values for the parameter to the values specified in the set.
Specifies the location of the parameter label in the block definition.
Determines the number of grips that will display in the block reference.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines a distance and angle for two key points in the block definition.
Determines the point in the block definition relative to which the grip will be placed.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
Determines whether the parameter is included in the selection set of an action that is associated with a different parameter.
Defines an extended description of the Label custom property. When the block reference is inserted, this description is displayed at the bottom of the Properties palette.
Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.
Limits the available values for the parameter to the values specified in the set.
Determines the distance and angle from the base point. The distance and angle are custom properties in the Properties palette.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines an X and Y distance from the base point of a block definition.
Determines the maximum X distance for the parameter.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
Determines whether the parameter is included in the selection set of an action that is associated with a different parameter.
Defines an extended description of the Label custom property. When the block reference is inserted, this description is displayed at the bottom of the Properties palette.
Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.
Determines the maximum Y distance for the parameter.
Determines the number of grips that will display in the block reference.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines an angle for the block reference.
Determines the point about which the selected block geometry will be rotated.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
Determines whether the parameter is included in the selection set of an action that is associated with a different parameter.
Defines an extended description of the Label custom property. When the block reference is inserted, this description is displayed at the bottom of the Properties palette.
Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.
Determines the distance between the base point of the parameter and the grip.
Determines the location of the grip in the block reference.
Specifies a base angle other than 0 for the parameter grip.
Block Editor contextual tab
Mirrors objects or the entire block reference about a reflection line.
Determines the first point for the line of reflection. The parameter grip will be displayed at this point.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
Defines an extended description of the Label custom property. When the block reference is inserted, this description is displayed at the bottom of the Properties palette.
Specifies whether the Label custom property is displayed in the Properties palette when the block reference is selected in a drawing.
Determines the endpoint of the reflection line.
Block Editor contextual tab
Defines objects that will either display or not display within the block definition.
Determines a location for the parameter grip. The parameter can be placed anywhere within the block definition.
Sets the Name custom property for this parameter.
Defines a custom descriptive label for the location of the parameter.
