I would like to be able to control this block by the constraints that I have applied in the original drawing. I guess my question to anyone that could answer this would be has Autodesk designed this new constraint feature to use just as a per drawing constraint or can I used those constraints to act dynamically within a block. The way I am thinking about this I would be able to have a block that moves the objects in that block accordantly to the constraints applied. If AutoCAD 2010 does not have the functionality to do this they should really think about this. Or if they do and somebody knows how to accomplish this it would really be a great help. Thank you.
