Stretching in Dyn Blocks Moves Line

[kkline116]

Sorry to post so many threads... but this is my first time trying to set these up and I keep coming across issues that searching the interenet doesn't solve.

Please see the attached drawing. It's for a conveyor system, and the idea is that when you insert the block, you could then select the size of the conveyor and the angle of the turn (straight sections are another block).

What is suppose to happen is, when you insert the block, you stretch the conveyor to the size desired, and the rest of the block should scale to match. Then you select the angle of "turn", and you're good to go.

I got it all to work except... when you stretch the line out, everything scales, but the line doesn't stay in place and just stretch to the left, it moves, which leaves a gap where the conveyor should be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just figured it out...

My "selection box" was around the whole line, not just the part I wanted to stretch.

Duh... sorry...

Thanks!!!
