Hi All,
I'm using AutoCAD 2009. I have a block (attached) that I am trying to get two angular lines (Un-named distance parameters in the attached block) to stretch and continue their angle. At the same time, I need the vertical line ("Shoulder Diamter" paramter) to reduce in size and stay attached at the ends of the vertical lines. I would like to accomplish this with one grip point on the vertical line. While all of this is happening, I need the two parallel lines that are attached to the vertical line to stretch as everything is moved. I tried XY parameters and Chaining actions with no results. Maybe I'm applying incorrectly. Can anyone help with this?

Close.
2 things that are not working.
- I would not expect the Polar Grip to slide down as it is pulled left. Something is causing this.
- The Arcs at the end of the Parallel lines are moving away from the vertical line. It's as though a Slope needs to be applied to the Multiplier for Polar Stretch2 but I cannot get this to work here.

Charles...that's really great. I didn't know I could apply several actions to a single parameter. Where would I apply the multiplier that you are auggesting? Would I be able to put in a linear parameter and either a stretch or move action on the vertical line...extending from the far right green vertical line. I need to control this distance in increments of 1". Would chaining actions work here, or do you have a better way. Thank you greatly for your help
Hang on...
I gotta go appointment for a bit this afternoon...

All is OK
Just multiplier must be little bit diferent 1/cos(12)

Thanks for the math, Juris.
Test-2 in the latest is your answer for this block.
Multipliers are ammended thru the Properties window for a Specific Action. While in the Block Editor click on the Action and open the Properties window and you will see a subgroup Overrides: Distance Multiplier and Angle Offset are here.
These two items are what makes this DynBlk work. The Angle Offset is also how you can get one Parameter to have several Actions going different directions.
