Dynamic block - Stretch, rotate - center object

[DesmetMartin]

Hello all,

 

I have a dynamic block with a problem.

 

The block can now stretch and rotate, but in the center of the block there is an object that should always be in the center of the lines.

 

How does this needs to be done?

Can it be without parameters to?

 

Kind regards,

D.M.

I still need help with this?!

I can't open your example file as I'm using a 2012 version. But it sounds like you need to chain actions and use a distance multiplier on the nested action. Check out my example.

chain actions.dwg

 

In my example file Distance1 is stretching only the circle, its parameter is set to chain actions and the action has a distance multiplier of .5

 

Distance2's selection set includes the line and Distance1's parameter, not the circle. So any change in Distance2 results in Distance1 being stretched the full amount, but the distance multiplier of .5 on Distance1's action means that stretch results in the circle traveling half the distance.

[MaxwellEdison]

And immediately after attaching that example I remembered you don't need to chain the actions at all, add a second action to the stretch parameter and apply the .5 distance multiplier to that second one, a la this example.

Ok, I tried what you said but seems like I'm doing wrong.

Maybe it's hard becaus I want it to polar stretch?

 

I have saved the block without any dynamics in AutoCAD 2010 file.

Now you should be able to open it?

 

Thanks

While I can open it, all the dynamic elements were removed in the savedown to 2010. It's possible the 2013 filetype has made my dynamic block experience outdated.

And would you tweak my block to a rotating (right hole) stretching block with the middle lines (kind of lip) that stays in the middle?

Like your circle on your dyn. block.

 

If you know what I mean...

I'll give her a tickle and see if she blushes, sure.

Is that what you're looking for?

Hi sirs! Check this out.

 

I added 2 Polar stretch actions.

1. Polar Stretch - Stretch ONLY (Lines and End objects) and ROTATION ONLY (Base objects)

2. Polar Stretch1 - Stretch ONLY (Middle objects) with 0.5 Multiplier

 

Best regards!

@kuyamac

That is exactly what I was looking for! T

 

Thank you!

 

@MaxwellEdison

It's also good but the stretch and rotate in one click like from kuyamac is more what I was looking for.

But thanks dough!
