Dynamic Block Question

[wannabe]

Having tried to creat a line and arrow that can be stretched and rotated (very similar to a leader) I am having two small difficulties.

 

1. The rotation works great; the grip is at the end of the line and it rotates about the arrow head. But, the scale action based on a linear parameter scales in both directions, when ideally I only want the line to decrease in length from the furthest end reducing length towards the arrow.

 

2. When I place the grip at the end of the line, for the scale action, it puts it a fair distance away from here when I close the block editor.

 

I havent used dynamic blocks before so I set myself a few taks to acquaint myself for when the need arises. As such this is not an urgent issue and you do not need to bring your drawing office to a standstill to help rectify this issue .

can you post the block please

That should be just the entities with none of the parameters or actions assigned (obviously).

 

Basically I want two grips at the end. One that affects the rotation of the whole block and one that scales the line and not the arrow, but only taking length from the furthest point.

 

thanks, mate.
