woodman78 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hi, I am trying to create a dynamic block for tactile paving. I want to be able to move horizontally and independently the 3 points that make up the arc on the right of the block. Can anyone guide me as to how to do this?

BIGAL Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 If you use a PLine and a associate hatch then you can drag any point ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman78 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks Bigal. I have done as you said and that works for the two outer points using linear parameters and the stretch command for each. But if I try that for the middle point on the curve it gets all messed up. Any ideas? Tactile 1.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I dragged the middle no probs but its a pline with associated hatch not a block and no constraints ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman78 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Bigal, I want to keep it as a dynamic block so I can impose constraints. How do I position a point on the 3 points of the curve to move them independently but limit the distance they can move through by constraints?

Mike_Taylor Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Have you tried breaking that arc into two smaller arcs and throwing some constraints on them to keep them tangent to each other? It might give you the results you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman78 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 No Mike_Taylor. I haven't tried that. I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
