Trouble with dynamic block editing and performace

[AnthonyEssonArchitect]

All:

I have been working with customizing a dynamic block to suit my needs. I was able to figure out most of the functions for editing the dynamic block, but am having trouble with the stretching of the door in relation to the opening width. Specifically, in the "Open175" configuration that I created, the door stretches fine until it is mirrored. when mirrored about either axis, the angle offset seems to change resulting in the door not stretching to the proper angle with respect to the 175 degree open position.

I have attached the block hoping that someone can clue me in as to how to cortrect this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your patience. I've attached a modified version of the dynamic block. The problem was resolved by setting the BACTIONBARMODE (System Variable) to a value of <0>. Then Select the Hor direction Flip action, right click and select ‘Action Selection Set’->Modify, add ‘Stretch175’ to the selection set.

Best regards,
Volker

1. The block you attached seems to work (as it exists today)... I cannot duplicate the issue you describe.
2. You might consider placing a Coincident Constraint on the end of you Arc and the outer end of the door.  This would stop the Arc from becoming dis-attached after a Stretch.
3. You might consider excluding your Alignment Grip from your Stretch selection set.
4. You might consider relocating the Alignment Grip from being directly on top of the Base Point.
5. The "solution" you've chosen (and the Help file entry linked) seems to indicate that it's impossible to select/modify the selection set with BACTIONMODE set to it's OOTB value (1).  This is not the case, in my experience.  In 2015, on my machine, it IS possible (though not necessary in this case) to rt-click the Stretch175 Action and redefine the selection set (or from the Properties ToolPalette).
