can dynamic blocks be made to add or delete parts based on length?

[gargoyle27]

in order to streamline some of my duties i wonder if theres a way to have a dynamic block not only that can change it's length and the dimension for that length (easy) but will also add features to the part. For example can one be made that when stretching its length that once it reaches a certain length automatically split into two sections and keep those 2 sections equal? Also can it be made to contain a tag that keeps track of the lengths as well as number of joints between sections multiplied by a constant?

You can mostly do this by making dynamic blocks.

 

For example can one be made that when stretching its length that once it reaches a certain length automatically split into two sections

The length can be changed by stretching. I don't know if there's a way to array the lines when the become an certain length, maybe with chain reactions??

 

keep those 2 sections equal?

If you stretch a line and array it after a certain dimension, i think they would all be equal.

 

Also can it be made to contain a tag that keeps track of the lengths

The length can be viewed in an field with the line as reference.

 

On this site, there are some dynamic block tuts:

I hope i didm't misunderstand you question and helped you with your problem.
