What am I doing wrong

In the attached drawing I am trying to setup a simple dynamic block that has rotation, flipping & 2 x stretching

The problem is that the stretch on the green line is not working. When I stretch the green line the parameters \ actions for the rotation and stretching of the red line do not move with it. They stay in their original position. This is a bigger issue for the rotation as it no longer rotates around the correct point (end of green line).

I have defined the selection set for the green line stretch action to fully encase everything associated with the rotation and the stretching of the red line. Shouldn't that mean that the associated parameters move when the green line is stretched?

Just because the stretch window surrounds something does not mean that it is stretched.  Items that you want stretched need to be included in the stretch action's selection set.  Add the rotate and linear parameters to the selection set and it works fine.

Thanks Libbya - I was of the understanding they needed to be included in the selection set so I did orignally draw the selection so that it fully encompassed these parameters.

How did you add them to the selection set? Is there something speacial you need to do to add a parameter to another action's selection set?

Doh! - just realised what I was doing wrong when creating the selection sets - all good now thanks
