Dynamic Block Stretching and Array

Hi Everyone,

I am newer to dynamic blocks and am trying to have different fasteners array at different spacing.

The Fastener Heads I am trying to Array every 24 inches - staggered 

The Full length fasteners 2 at a time I am trying to array every 15.75 inches.

But when I try to do a Dynamic Block and add a array action to stretch as needed it either delays the array by a whole array (like the Fastener Heads) or arrays them too soon (like the full length fasteners).

 

Is there any additional setting I am missing that I need to change or is there something wrong with the logic of how I added the dynamic actions.

 

 - Thanks

Try the attached block "test". 

To adjust when the new instances of the objects have to appear stretch the left grip of the new added linear parameters in the block editor (Distance2, ...3 and ...4) to left or right. 

If you need more detailed help let me know.

BTW: The suggestion above only shows a possibility how to solve the array problem. 

Now I see that you have inserted in the block editor other dynamic blocks with a lot of visibility states. These visibility states can not be used in the main block (to select different screw types). They must exist in the top level block.
