Stretch Dynamic Block by Length

Anonymous — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 16:32:48 GMT

I'm trying to stretch a dynamic block by entering a length to be added or subtracted from the current length of the block. For example: if a rectangle is 12" long with a linear stretch command on the 12" side. I want to stretch it 6 more inches to make the new overall length 18" not a new overall length of 6". How do I do this? I know its possible because until a few days ago, this is the way I was able to stretch blocks. I didnt change anything (that I know of) but now when I grab the grip to stretch it and enter a length, it changes the overall length instead of using the grip point as the base point of the stretch. I attached a picture with the length I want to change circled in red. If anyone can PLEASE HELP!! Its driving me nuts and for the kinds of drawings I do, it makes it so nice. Is there a system variable that might have been turned off b y accident?

Thank you

Hi, try turning the DYNAMIC INPUT on (F12) so it can work as you want.

Hi,

If you have the block, you can turn off the dynamic input as mentioned by Mr Marco. Otherwise here is the block.
