parametric block

A block that has been added to a drawing through parametric insertion and scaled according to width and depth dimensions, or width and length dimensions defined in a standards table. If the standards table specifies a block as well as dimensions, the Archibus Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD inserts the specified block and scale it according to the dimensions. If the standards table defines only dimensions, the programs insert a default unit block (UNIT.DWG) and scale this to the appropriate dimensions.
