Confusing Title but I'll try to explain with this picture.
I'm trying to build a dynamic block that can stretch the first 750 to a max of 1500 and once the 1500 is exceeded (1501) another 750 has to be added which is again stretchable.
Is this possible with one single grip? I was think about combining a array and stretch but so far no luck.
Thank you for helping 🙂
Check out the attached. It uses a double lookup to trigger one of two visibility states when the length exceeds 1500.

Suppose we place a handle (yellow) on the right-hand side so that we can choose the length over all. The length can be changed continuously between 750 and 1500. As soon as the value 1500 is exceeded, the handle should now jump to the value 2250 (red). The user may and can never select a value for the total length in the range between 1500 and 2250. The same is repeated in the range 3000 to 3750 and so on. The total length can therefore only be changed discontinuously. Is this really what you want to achieve?

That's exactly how I understood your question. But my question remains:: if you drag a grip at the right end (as I guess) and the distance of this item exeeds the 1500, then a 750 item will be added AND THE GRIP MUST JUMP IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEW RIGHT END of the array for further dragging. And also the length overall will jump a 750 step. I repeat. Do you want such a behavior? (I have some ideas how perhaps to solve that, but I don't want to waste time before the goal is clear riding the wrong horse).

Attached a first attempt.
[EDIT]:
That was created before reading your posts#6 - post#8. (I read your last posts after sending my post #9)

parameters ... in Autocad. Looks the same as in Inventor.
Yep. This "Parametric" (since ACAD 2010) is very similar to the geometric and dimensional constraints in Inventor. There are some differences to Inventor (e.g. in AutoCAD you can not use reference parameters in expressions, in Inventor you can; and some other small differences too), a big difference: in AutoCAD you can use parametric in the 2D environment only (just as Dynamic Blocks).
"min" and "floor", What are these and what do they do in the formula?
The min function returns the smaller element of two values (which are separated by a ";" )
The floor function returns the value down rounded to the next smaller Integer.
For more details how to use Parametric in AutoCAD and especially in Dynamic Blocks here is IMO the wrong thread.
But no problem if you have further questions.
