Dynamic Title Block Stretching issues

Dynamic Title Block Stretching issues

I'm trying to set up a dynamic titleblock. Instead of different visibilty states, I'd like stretch actions to allow me to set the different sizes.

My issue is that the folding lines I have on the perimeter of the titleblock don't behave as I want them to as I stretch the block. I want them to repeat along a certain module I've set up for them (185mm), and although I've gone through each visibility state carefully selecting which folding lines need to be seen and which done, the block does not behave as I'd like it to. (the folding lines don't even line up with the perimeter once exited from block editor!)

 

Any ideas?! I'm at my wits end here... I tried setting it up with Lookups but that didn't work better either... Any help would be very much appreciated!

I've attached some images to explain what I mean - my titleblock with the parameters and actions set up, a predefined visibility state to show where I want the folding lines, and finally the result once out of the block...

Thank you in advance!

I went with visablity states and lookup tables to adjust the position of the attrubutes. 

 

Mt dyno chops are not what they were a few years ago, but I would probably approach this with chained position paramaters on the folding lines. I would still use a lookup tables and hide the stretch grips.

 

example lookup1 would stretch to xy and move the folding lines to xy

 

the dyno board may get more feed back

Thank you for your quick response but unfortunately I don't understand much of it... Excuse my novice position.. 'Mt dyno chops'?

Add an array action for the fold lines. The stretch and array actions can both reference the same linear parameter.

"My Dyno Chops" = my personal expertise with Dynamic blocks is not what it once was.

Joe,

 

I, too, was scratching my head over "Mt dyno chops".

Its an Island in the south Pacific where I learned how to create Dynamic blocks, type and proof read. 😮
