Dynamic Block/Constraints help needed.

[sonny3g]

I have created a small library of blocks with multiple views and ranges.  Attached is a single file of the side view of a block with both dynamic properties and constraints applied.  The block works as desired.  The problem is that if you use the AutoCAD command to copy and paste the block, the bottom stretch grip will be applied to the original block and all copied instances.  It will only change the dimension on the current block being stretched and you can only stretch the current block back to where it was.

The real kicker is that if you use CTRL-C to copy the block and then CTRL-V to paste it, there is no problem with any of the pasted blocks. 

If anyone has an idea what I can do so I don't have to scrap my library, I would be happy to hear it.

Thanks.

Wow.  I don't have a answer but I can confirm that it malfunctions just as you described. A block reset doesn't fix them.  they malfunction and have some weird relationship to each other where operating one of them effects others.

Maybe it has something to do with it being built with blocks in blocks?    or mixing constraints with parameters?    .... yet copying and pasting has no problem with it ....

I have to wonder if it has something to do with the constraint parameter names don't change when using the AutoCAD copy command, but they do change when using the Windows copy/paste method?  Or perhaps, it is linked in the block table until something alters the block's record in the  table?

Whatever, this is going to be a nightmare for us the way it works now.
