Hatch Stretch in Dynamic Block - Stretch dissasociates when Zoomed out

[scott.sims]

Hi have created a dynamic block with one linear parameter and two stretch actions...there is a hatch inside the shape that is designed to stretch with the border.  The Hatch is "Associative".  The block performs as expected flawlessly until I zoom out to far in model space and try to stretch the  block.  The border stretches as expected but the hatch becomes dissociated with the stretch.  

Any ideas?  

The block is shown in model space in the attached file.  It's "Slab-test-II"

I'm afraid all I can provide is confirmation. It does that for me here, too.

Very strange. It's as if the hatch becomes invisible to the dynamic action when the view is zoomed out to the point (perhaps) where it becomes invisible on the screen.

I fiddled around with a few ideas, but none solved the issue.

When creating the hatch, do not pick an internal point, but select the polyline.

BTW: Why is your Distabce1 a chained parameter?

Thanks J.Palm..that worked.

Regarding the chained parameter...I thought since there were two stretch commands associated with that parameter that it was necessary to make that parameter a "Chained" type.  Sounds like I don't understand the funciton of "Chaining"

Yep, obviously you completely misunderstand its function. If you need more help regarding that, I'd suggest to create a new thread.
