MAKING THE OBJECTS IN CENTER OF DYNAMIC BLOCKS

[Anonymous]

Hi guys!

Can you help me out on my Dynamic Block.  I am currently developing this Door Dynamic Block.  I will be attaching the file so feel free to do look into it.  But please let me know the process on how you solve the problem.  I am really eager to learn more about the process of Dynamic blocks.

1.  My problems is that I want to make the Door Eye Viewer always on center of the Door Clear Width  but i do not know how to make it possible.

2.  Is there a way that i can make the door stretch with increments for both the X axis and Y axis.  Currently what i did is i have to stretch both the X and Y axis.  I was wondering if there is a way to do it both in on stretch.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Arch A.

I can't get the arc working properly, but the other stuff was easy.

I deleted your door height parameter and added everything to the clear width.

There is a move parameter with a multiplier of 0.5 which keeps the door eye viewer central in the clear gap.

There is a stretch parameter added with an angle of 90 which stretches the door.

I've updated my previous attachment. The arc now works as it should

Your arc scaling is still a little off.  The reason for the discrepancy is that the governing parameter is larger than the radius of the arc so scaling introduces a small but noticeable error.  The solution is a chained parameter for controlling the scale.

Hi hwalker,

I have looked into the CAD that you did and it works perfectly!  I also learned 2 things with your reply and now I will try to apply to the dynamic blocks that I am currently planning to do.  I hope if I can ask you again for some dynamic issues i will be having. FYI Left handed here as well! 

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.
