    Here's an example of how I would build the block if the angle type is a list. Notice the absence of constraints. It is MUCH simpler than the version that had an infinite angle adjustment and operation is entirely rock solid and predictable. You would need to add visibility states and appropriate values in the lookup for additional angles.

    only down side to doing it this way is you are limited to the angles you can use.
    clever work around though.

    I agree. It is only good if one is using an increment or list for the angles. I really wish Autocad allowed manipulation of the center point and/or midpoint of arcs with dynamic parameters/actions.

    I've never used visibility state before, this will definitely help with designing blocks as a lot of the things I want to design use lists.

    Thank you!
