    Default Dynamic Blocks scale or stretch

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi All,

    I have a problem here,

    as you can see in the attached file there is a sliding door layout. I want to put an action on it in dynamic blocks which allows me to change the scale in x-x or y-y axis independently. I try to use stretch but I couldn't get the right feature and in scale action it changes the scale of the drawing in x-y.
    Is there any solution

    TIA

    Ali

    Do you need a dynamic block for that? I thought you could do it with any block in properties?

    do you mean something like this?

    I've been a bit silly with the arrow but if you look at the actions and properties when in the block editor you should get an idea.

    Thanks GE13579 for your reply,

    I know that way but the problem is I want to have a point for dragging and rescale my drawing in relation with another drawing.

    Cheers

    Thanks, exactly what I'm looking for but my problem in that case is I can't change the scale of the arrow in relation to new scale easily. It would be great if it has an option in scale for x and y separately.

    Default Annotative Leader for the arrow

    I don't know' but if you are trying to change the scale of the arrow on different drawings maybe it should be created with a annotative dimension style I mean isn't it a leader ?
