Strech dynamic block

Hello,

I have a project with over 100 different elements. I need to draw the reinforcement for these elements. I've created a dynamic block so that I can stretch the bar, but each bar is different. I would like to save time by being able to extend all the dynamic blocks as shown in the attached example.

Thank you for your help.

(sorry for my English)

I'm guessing you want something like the trim/extend but for your block? If so, I don't know if that can be done.

you can, however, stretch multiple blocks at once by holding shift and selecting the grips.

Thanks for your feedback. if it is not possible with a dynamic block, is it possible with a polyline?

Polylines would work like the LINES image shared in that first reply to you.

Even with a polyline, it doesn't work when I try to extend it. Can you show me how to do it, please?

It would be difficult using just common tools. 

But you can learn a LISP a bit, then it could be easy.

It seems like what you really want is an "extend" functionality rather than just a "stretch". Either way, what was proposed by @TheCADnoob is the only way to work with groups of dynamic blocks without a specialized LISP or other API functionality.  It is possible, for example, to effectively add functionality (stretching, extending, etc.) to dynamic blocks by adding object reactors.    Just making you aware in case you want to build your own functionality.
