Now, I created a Dynamic Block, with 4 different sizes (100,200,300 &amp; 400). <STRONG>Is there a way to sweep a dynamic block?</STRONG> If dynamic block doesn't work, does an "ordinary" block work? This way I could save different blocks under each size.<BR /><BR /><BR />I also tried to do extrude (cable tray) and it only worked with array, but than the size couldn't be changed (100,200 etc.), it was like I had to pick one or the other. Can I do both and how? (This would actually be more useful for my another project).<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />And at the same time, Sweep would be preferable (for this issue), since the path of the cable tray moves in all directions. And moving/rotating the cable tray every time would be wasteful. As you can see, the path is pretty complicated and has variety of sizes (red means attached to ceiling (different Z coordinate)).<BR /><BR /><BR />Thanks for your help!</P> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 11:33:12 GMT Martin.PetricCTC4Q 2022-06-20T11:33:12Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/sweep-a-dynamic-block/m-p/11246002#M55099 <P>Hello there,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Probably already answered, but couldn't find anything appropriate. <STRONG>I am looking to Sweep a Block, how can I do that?</STRONG> I know I can sweep a polyline, but I could only do that, when the polyline was not a Block.<BR /><BR />The thing is, I would like to create a cable tray, simple polyline.
