Problems with the command STRETCH

First, I have 2 lines and a block.

The block I created on the layer 0.

It included a circle with two lines inside.

 

When I wanted to stretch them by 800,

I did use the right method to select them,

from the right bottom of the circle block,

included some of the yellow and red lines.

It just like the area of the white rectangle,

starting from the right bottom corner.

 

But why the circle block is not moved the stretch?!

The lines worked but not the block.

It stays at the same position.

The lines will stretch. The block won't. That's the way it works.

 

Maybe you should consider using a Dynamic block.

it depends what you mean by stretch. If you expect it to get longer then as ReMark says, it won't. If you want it to move it is because you have defined your block with an irrelevant insertion point. Redefine your block with its insertion point as the centre of the circle and it will move.

thx very much

by redefine the block again, using the centre as insertion point, it works!

but... how to redefine the insertion point without exploding the block?

is it possible?

i am sorry if i asked too much.

thank for your answer.

i'll have a look for the dynamic block.

you should be able to do this with BEDIT. Select all your items and use MOVE. Select your base point and the MOVE to 0,0. If you use dynamic input you need to move to #0,0. Close the editor and your blocks will be redefined. The one problem with this is that any existing blocks will appear to move by the amount you moved the items in the editor. There is no way round this but serves to underline the reason for defining a sensible base point when creating blocks.
