Wrong how?

What are you trying to do?

The block looks fine here but it is giving a warning that it is not fully constrained.

 

Some reading on Constraints:

thanks for fast answer.

 

I cant open you file in autocad 2011. I will check and see if we have any licens for autocad 2013.

 

The problem with my block is when i insert multple of the same block and changes one, the line under the text will move on the rest of the blocks but the text will stay the same.

 

Maybe Autocad 2013 will fix that?

 

Sorry for my bad english

Please never apologize for your english. I know that I cannot even begin to write yours.

 

I saved it down to 2010.

Autodesk Truview will allow you to convert drawings when you need to.

 

An inserted Dynamic Block should not affect other drawings in the file.

I do wonder if the Constrints are somehow causing this but it does not seem likely.

The attached file emulates what yours does without the Constriants.

I came across this issue some time ago. The problem then was that all blocks changed when one was altered, not every time usually when you inserted a number of blocks and then made the first change. It again used constraints. The OP's drawing did the same for me I inserted 4 copies and all four changed with the first stretch. I removed the constraints and just added a stretch action to the existing point parameter to stretch the diagonal. No more constraints - no more problem.

Then there is a bug with Constraints?

Or is it that the DynBlk is not fully constrained?

 

Congrats on your color upgrade. Smiley Happy

Thank you for all help, now its working perfecly.

 

But how did you attach 2 actions to one parameter?

Message 10 of 12

All Parameters are able to accept many Actions with a few caveats.

Polar Actions can't be used with Linear Parameters as an example.

Easiest way to learn that is to just try adding Actions to Parameters.

I am on 2013 LT as well so I couldn't do a lot, but both these involved constrained blocks, and when you inserted multiple copies they all moved, and in both cases I had the message "block is not fully constrained". It appears to be a common thread.
