Round trip support for dynamic blocks

Anonymous
Not applicable
In AC17 round trip support for Autocad dynamic blocks works successfully for me. Only problem is if while I'm in Archicad I edit that block, move it around or edit a parameter, it doesn't export back to Autocad as a dynamic block. It loses the "dynamic" part of the block.

Any fixes to this?

I might be wrong but as far as I remember the very reason those dynamic blocks work is because you do not edit them in ArchiCAD so its original state can be restored when the file goes back to AutoCAD.

I am wondering what kind of change causes it to not recognize it anymore. I tend to think moving it in ArchiCAD should be fine, AutoCAD it would still recognize it as the original. Maybe even rotating and mirroring would not break it.
But editing a parameter would.

Graphisoft said that because AutoCAD won't share coding information with them, or something along those lines, that is why it loses the "dynamic" part of the block.
