Dynamic Block w/Rotation and Stretch

[Bill Tillman]

I keep running into the same issue with this dynamic block. I need to be able to both stretch and rotate it. But when I rotate it and then try to stretch it I don't get the results I want. As I experiment with the block I find that when I include what I think is needed AutoCAD reports that I have a circular reference in the block. ???

You need to include the stretch linear parameter in the rotate selection. See attached altered drawing

Use a Polar Stretch instead of a linear stretch and rotate. See my example of an arrow.

Holy Old Post bump!!!! 

Yeah i was looking to do just this today.. totally forgot how... thanks to this thread.. i figured it out. 

 

Use the POLAR parameter, start point at the center of rotation, end point at the point you want the stretch to end. 
Add the POLAR STRETCH action to the SECOND point. 

Select the objects you want to stretch, like the line and end arrow. 

Select the object you want to rotate, like the line, end arrow and the triangular arrow near the circle.
