I work for a glazing contractor and have shims in almost every detail of my drawings. I have a dynamic shim that arrays 1/16" thick shims. It does the trick but I would like it to work more "realistic". The attached file shows the steps I would like the block to emulate. I feel like I am pretty good with dynamic blocks but this one has me stumped, and I'm not sure if it can be done. I am running ACAD 2009 by the way.
Basically, I want the first shim to stretch from the default 1/1/6" thick, to 1/8", to 3/16" to 1/4". if i need to shim more than 1/4", then I would like a new 1/16" shim to appear on top of the 1/4" shim, then be able to stretch it up to 1/4" thick, etc etc.
If any of the gurus here knows of a way I would appreciate the guidance.
also, the first shim in the attached file is my dynamic block. the rest are just polylines to show the progression I am looking for
