robwell Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have a dynamic block with many features and several visibility states. However, I am having one issue with Polar stretch. I have a vertical pline with a short horizontal pline perpendicular at the bottom. I have the polar parameter and polar stretch attached to the lines to rotate around the upper end point. I want the short perp. pline to stay horizontal to the polar stretch point, but am having difficulty figuring that out. I have tried a horiz. geometric constraint, but I need the line to stay a set length and it wants to shorten as I rotate it. I have tried a locked constraint, but I need the pline to scale when a lookup scale factor is selected and it won't scale. Any help on this would be appreciated.

robwell Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Posting the block or a drawing is unnecessary. All it is, is a vertical line with a short line horizontal off the bottom end of the line (could be joined or individual lines). Think of a section cut tail. The pivot point should be the top end of the vertical line. The bottom end of the vertical line is the polar stretch point. I would like the horizontal line to pivot (staying horizontal) at the polar stretch point, while moving with the polar stretch point (staying "connected" at the ends of each line).

robwell Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I figured out my own dilemma. I needed to use the parameter set of 'Polar Stretch Pair' to keep the horizontal line horizontal while polar stretching the vertical line as it stretched in both x-y direction.
