Attached is a dynamic block of a steel beam (US sizes). For some reason when I insert the block into a drawing the look up paramter action doesn't appear.

Open in BEDIT
Open the Property Lookup Table
In the right pane, under Lookup Properties, change the Read-Only to Allow Reverse Lookup

Thanks! You guys are great!

is it possible to select multiple instances of the same DYN block (one with a look up table) in a drawing, and change the size of all of them at once?

Sure, select them all then make the change in the properties palette.

I was looking for that option before, it guess I just missed it.

Are there any problems with using hatches inside dynamic blocks. I used a steel hatch inside the beam and it changes when I change beam size for now. Just wonder if it will be buggy or not.

just make sure that they are associative as much as possible
