New to dynamic blocks...

...but, I'm having fun!
I have attached a block which is a simple angle with a filleted radius.

 

When I rotate the vertical leg, how can I make the fillet stay connected to the vertical leg?

 

Thank you,

You are new to Dynamic Blocks. We don't know if you are new to Parametric Constraints too? 

The base principle using constraints is show in this video. 

 

 

Depending on your current needs a lot of refinements are possible. If you have further questions let us know ...

Thanks.

 

I studied constraints last night and that was what I needed. I added two coincident constraints, one at each end of the radius, and another to keep the bottom leg horizontal.

!! Very Important note/advice !!
I'd urgently suggest never to mix Dynamic Parameters (your Angle1) and Actions (Your Rotate1) with constaints. In your very simple example L.dwg that may look well for the moment, but in most cases such a mix will fail and/or cause problems.
Base rule: In a dynamic block use for modifying the geometry either ONLY geometric/dimensional constraints OR Dynamic Parameters/Actions. 

 

And a tip: 

To avoid the need of a lot of coincident constraints for joining the endpoints of lines and arcs I'd suggest to draw Polylines whenver possible.
