Dynamic Blocks

[#1]

How come on some computers when i use a dynamic block with stretch action and input 1000 the length of the object becomes 1000, and on different computers the input 1000 is added to the existing lenght of the object.

I would always prefer the first option. Is there a system variable or something to adjust the behaviour of streching dynamic blocks?

Same DynBlk?

Check the setting of:

DSETTINGS

Dynamic input tab

Enable dimension input where possible Check Box

That did it. Thanks!

Good Tip.

Thanks.

ACAD 2012/ 2011 SP2 there is a problem with Osnaps.  You have Tangent or Perpendicular in your default Osnaps.  Something is not right and it seems when you are stretching these two osnaps interfere. (So some computers don't have it on and some do or some have SP2 and some don't)

The other suggestions are good and may help. But, be aware.  Work around presently is to turn those two osnaps off by default. This issue has just come to our attention.

Thanks

I can say that 2013 will have the stretching problem addressed so that the perpendicular and tangent osnaps do not interfere with the operation. This problem was presented to us after the 2012 service pack 1, but is marked to be considered for a future service pack if there is one (I am not someone who knows this).
