I too was having a similar problem. I have removed the alignment parameter in the drawing I'm using the door in and I have much more control over this dynamic door block placement. Unfortunately, the Autocad drawing where this block actually lives seems to be write-protected.

In other words, the next time I use this block in a different drawing it will still have the alignment parameter attached to it.

Thank you for addressing this issue. I do appreciate everyone's feedback. Notice: updates available for Apache Log4j vulnerabilities.

Charles, Thanks for your notes! Dynamic blocks can be very useful and save you from creating hundreds of static blocks.

Creating a stretchable block may seem complicated at first, but just remember the basics; add a parameter, apply an action, test the block. In this article, you'll create a window block that starts with a size of 36" wide x 72" high, and then: Add a linear parameter Add a stretch action Test the block and more Note: The video doesn't contain audio or closed captions.

Create a Block In a blank drawing, draw a 36x72 rectangle to represent the window. Draw the inner rectangles as shown. Place the lower-left corner of the window at 0,0. This location will be used as the block's base insertion point. Make it Stretchable Now you are ready to define the dynamic part of this block.

For a stretchable block, you'll need a parameter and an action. Parameters determine the geometry that are affected by an action when you manipulate a block reference. Actions define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference moves, stretches, or changes when its grips are manipulated. Add the Parameter First, you'll add a linear parameter so that the geometry is limited to linear movement.

Make sure that you are in the block editor environment as described previously or select an existing block reference in the drawing, right-click, and choose Block Editor. Specify the upper-left corner of the outer rectangle for the first location. Specify the upper-right corner of the outer rectangle for the second location. Specify a location for the parameter. Show me how to add the parameter. Add the Action Parameters are used to get input from the user, but without an action a parameter doesn't do anything.

Follow the prompts on the command line: Select parameter: Select the Distance1 parameter. An action icon is shown next to the parameter grip it is associated with. Note: If you want to stretch the block from the left side, add a stretch action to the left parameter grip.
