https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/dynamic-blocks-forum/constrained-area-block-wont-move-other-parameters/m-p/5715866#M26899 <P>Libbya,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks for this.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I found the same thing - you can't move/alter dimensional constraints. Like you point out, you can stretch them and despite their property changing accordingly they don't alter&nbsp;their associated entities.&nbsp; If you add the entities to the stretch&nbsp;action or even add a second action stretching the entities it doesn't work.&nbsp;Pity really. Would be so nice to be able to also move grips when a constrained object is altered.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>For me the alignment parameter at 0,0 is extremely important. It allows the user to drag the block from a palette and it will auto align to the wall or&nbsp;whatever they're inserting the block against.&nbsp; The other really important thing for me is the ability to be able to move and re-size the text.&nbsp; This block is only one of a whole suite of blocks for the same discipline. They all share a common parameter - "Text Height".&nbsp; This allows the user to grab all blocks in the series and alter the text size globally as required.&nbsp; If the text is larger than the object itself it's important to be able to move it somewhere legible.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>To this end I came up with the&nbsp;attached alternative.&nbsp; It&nbsp;allows auto rotation upon insertion, and allows the text to be moved and re-sized.&nbsp; I've added a small dot in a colour that doesn't print (using our company standard ctb) that moves as the block is re-sized. This dot is for text alignment centrally if desired. I've also added additional visibility states for different sized units - which was always the intention.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks again&nbsp;Libbya. I&nbsp;appreciate&nbsp;it.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 12 Jul 2015 18:43:35 GMT Anonymous 2015-07-12T18:43:35Z
