IT stumped me too, so i re-did the fun stuff, does it do the same thing you want it to? i don't know why, but i might have had something to do with the double linear parameters. when chaining, i've had the best luck getting the parameters set prior to assigning any actions, and then i work from the master down to the chained parameters when linking the object to the actions. i didn't do that here, i left it at one parameter for the whole block. let me know please if this still does what you need.fyi, this file is the DB, so just insert into existing cad file to test. no exploding req'd.

Chris may have solved the problem for you, but here's some advice. If you have 3 stretch parameters, and 3 stretch actions, make sure that the actions ONLY select the parameters and not the actions. Sometimes, it's best to make sure that the actions select NOTHING BUT the objects to be stretched and leave the parameters and actions out. The idea is that it's basically like a mathematical equation (as far as I see it) 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. So if 3 stretch parameters / actions include each other, every time you stretch the object via ONE stretch icon, it'll be multiplied by 3 because the one icon has 2 other stretch parameters / actions associated with it.
