changing dynamic block lengths at the same time

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 15:13:15 GMT

i have a dynamic block created. i just want to change the lengths of all the same dynamic blocks at the same time so i dont need to change each block individually. i know its possible somehow by grouping but i cant figure it out. also i find selecting all the same ones at the same time and changing it in the properties is time consuming since i just want to stretch them all to a specific location

Hi,

I don't see any easier method other than using properties to modify the length of all the Dynamic blocks at once. Select a dynamic block=>right click=>select similar=>open properties(ctrl+1)=> modify the length. One problem which you might face when you select similar a dynamic block is that it would select all the dynamic block with the same block name and will not select it based on the visibility states or different lengths. If that is what you are looking for to select the Dynamic blocks based on the length and then change its length at once then you can use the lisp attached. If that's not the case then you can post the drawing with a dynamic block and let us know what you trying to do. We will be happy to help you out🙂
