Dynamic Block stretch not working

Hello,

 

This is my first time creating a CAD block and can't seem to get it working.

 

I have created a block where you can enter the diameter and wall thickness of any pipe. (this part works)

 

But when I go to stretch the block it does not work. It only stretches 4/5 of the lines after a certain length. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. It works fine if I enter the length manually but if I use the snap point it only does 4/5 of the lines.

It's because of the constraints. It's best not to mix constraints with dynamic parameters/actions and there is no need for any constraints in this block.  See attached.

How did you get the THICKNESS parameter to do both sides?

I added a move action for each of the lines, then selected the move action for the bottom line and changed its angle offset property to 180.
