Creating a Dynamic Block with "Linear Stretch Pair" in two directions that has one corner grip?

jkommrusch — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 21:30:08 GMT

Is it possible to have a box frame stretchable from a central point out in opposite directions with a single grip similar to that of an "XY Stretch Box Set?" Or do I have to use two instances of "Linear Stretch Pair?" See attached sample.

Thanks For any suggestions or input.

Greetings J,

So I have another block I can't get to work quite right. Please have a look and see if you can get it to work as intended. you'll see what I'm talking about once you open it and spin it around.

Thanks for your help by the way.

Jerry

Hmm, what do you hope to get? Show us an example please how the block should look after dragging the grips.

Perhaps something like the attached attempt?

To be clear we’re talking about the new block I attached,

“d-round-bubble-tag”

I hope to get what is seen in the block initially when it’s open in the editor.

The stretching of the block works when you stretch distance 1, then distance 2, but when it’s rotated after that, position #2 doesn’t stay at the center of the circle, as it should.

How can I make it stay at the center of the circle?

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Jerome Kommrusch

I'm not sure what you're reclaiming about. Do you need a file as the now attached one?

it appears to be fixed. Thank you so much. Can you tell me how you did that?

Best,

Check the actions and the selection sets assigned to them.

BTW: I deleted your Position1 parameter (I don't see any assigned action). Furthermore I set the number of grips of Position2 to 0 (Dragging this parameter doesn't make sense for me)

No problem. You're welcome here. If you have still further questions, feel free to ask.

Ok, As a matter of fact I do. I'm trying to scale the block, within the editor. The circles are 2 feet in diameter i need to have the whole assembly scaled down by 2/3, i.e. a 6" text would be a 4" text. then I need the whole thing scaled down to 1/48 so it fits properly in paper space. The only thing is when I do that the left end of the line connecting the two circles becomes disconnected when I stretch the assembly. please see the attached file and stretch distance 2.

Caused by your scaling the crossing window of the stretch action is now wrong placed.

Redefine the crossing window: >>Video<<.
