Incorrect dynamic block behavior

I have created a dynamic block which works perfectly fine in the file I use as a block library. 

The problems start when I load the library into a new drawing and insert a block. Suddenly the behavior is erroneous both stretching and rotating only adjust some of the geometry within the block and not all of it. 

I have tried reloading the library and redefining the dynamic blocks but nothing seems to work.

 

Also when adjusting the dyn. block (rotating or stretching) you see a correct representation on the screen only when you finish the command by pressing return only part of the geometry adjusted.

Extremely frustrating, any help is welcome!

 

Note: I have been careful in how the block was constructed keeping everything in layer 0 .

Inserting the dynamic block in a new drawing doesn't cause the issue so I suspect there is a setting in the current drawing which causes the issue?

You mentioned "new drawing" twice, once where it did not work, once where it did, then stated the first "new drawing" was not actually new. So which is it?

You also need to be posting DWG files, one showing the problem and another that is not, we can't guess at an exact issue but can possibly surmise your "not-so-new" first drawing already had that block definition in it which you simply did not replace.

I again redefined the block and this seem to do the trick. 

I find it really strange since I had already tried this multiple times before posting my question.

 

What frustrates me is that I am not sure wether redefining was the solution.

It was when I was trying to create new drawings with the faulty dynamic block that the behavior returned back to normal after redefining.

well anyway it seems to be solved...

Redefining is the best approach more often than not.
