Dynamic Block Issue with Actions

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am having a problem with dynamic blocks creation.  When I create the block and try to apply actions to it, the lines are not recognized in the action and during the test the grip is missing.  I do not know whether my CAD is corrupted or if I'm missing something simple here.  I took a screencast of my process in hopes someone can tell me what is wrong.

Thank you.

At ~0:33 you are prompted to select the end of the parameter to associate with the action.  You clearly select the basepoint end that does not have a grip.  Further evidence of the fact is that the yellow exclamation point never goes away.  Because of that, there is no action that is associated with the grip end of the parameter.  Because there is no action associated with the grip end of the parameter, the grip is not displayed in model space or test window.

I never knew I had to select a grip for the action to work.  Thank you for pointing that out!

It depends on which type of parameter you are associating an action with.  Linear and polar parameters have two points that the action can be associated with so you are prompted to choose.  XY parameters have 4 points so again you are prompted to choose which point to associate an action with.
