    Default ventilation duct section using dynamic block

    Hi,
    Im trying to create ventilation duct section using dynamic block. Duct section consist on:
    1) outside circle (dashed) - it stands for insulation fd the duct.
    2) concentric inside circle
    3) "moon" inside.

    In this DB I would like to be able to manipulate:
    1) diameter of the outside circle (dashed)
    2) diameter of inside circle
    and I would like the "moon" to be scaled while Im changing diameter of inside circle
    I was trying to do thatusing constraints and using scale parameter. Both blocks you can see in attached drawing. As you can see I cannot achieve my goal. My DWG file in the attachment.

    Any help will be apriciated.

    You have requested Concentric inside circle and to be able to change it on its own.
    Do you wish to do both?

    Yes.
    I have almost achieved my goal using DB with constraints parameters (block on the left in previously attached DWG), but what I cannot achive is changing the scale of the "moon" inside while I change diameter of inside circle. So when I change parameter "DN" to "1000" than "moon" remains the same, but I want it to change scale while changing "DN". General "DN" parameter and "RAM" parameter works fine. "Moon" is the problem that remains. See attached picture below.
