Dynamic Blocks

[vpatterson]

Ok I see other post about this problem but none pertaining to the exact problem I am having. I have a dynamic block with several parameters. Visibility, rotate, and stretch. I am trying to keep the parameter for the stretch to stay when I rotate. Is this possible? Please help.

Is the stretch parameter included in the rotate action?

 

You need something like this?

Section Arrow.dwg

When you are selecting the objects to rotate, select the parameters as well. They should rotate as long as they are selected.

It should be possible, but will depend on what exactly it all does, can you post the block ? It's always easier to answer if there is an example

[vpatterson]

ok that worked for the stretch, now I am trying to add a flip do I have to do the same thing?

[Tuns]

Yes, same thing every time you set a new action. You always have to select the parameters that you want to move whenever you move the block around.

[vpatterson]

awesome thank you!

[Tuns]

Any time.

I do not have the permission to attach dwg files yet. sorry.

you should have - unless something has changed the only limit was for links. To attach a file "Go Advanced" (below right) and click the attachments button.

Only limit is for links, even then you can post links, they just have to be approved by a moderator.

vpatterson is having troubles uploading her CAD file. I have it.Drawing.dwg

[steven-g]

Having a rotate and a polar parameter is a bit awkward, does this work or do you need to twist the bubble as well?

I have fixed the polar parameter im trying stretch and scale now and its not working the bubble should stretch from the top and one of the sides

[bbankston]

She means that she wants the bubble to stretch at the top and scale on the side.

Do you mean that it should maintain the same ratio

Ok well I am sorry I cant upload the updated dwg from my work computer. They wont allow it (my work). here are some jpegs I know they are hard to see I am sorry best I can do till boss comes back.

top and bottom is what I want it to do middle is what I do not want it to do. and also if you stretch it enough the bubble detaches its self from the block? does anyone know why?

We could keep on trying to guess but really we need a bit more info on what exactly should stretch/scale/rotate, or maybe a few sketches showing the various options
