3D Blocks and Dynamic Blocks

[lja]

Is it possible to make a dynamic block from a 3D block? I have been looking around and had no luck. Are dynamic blocks strictly 2D blocks? I do not know of anyone still working in 2D.

I think dynamic blocks are created to be 2D. I have created 3D content then copyclip/pasteclip it in my dynamic blocks. While in the block editor, they aren't editble in 3D, only plan view and the only thing I have done with them is add visibility states. If anyone else knows anything otherwise I would LOVE to hear about it as well.

I'm in the same boat... I have created dynamic blocks of 3D blocks using the visibility states but I'd like to add a stretch function in the Z axis. As it stands the only way to use the stretch command in ACA2009 is in X&Y axis. I tried to create a few custom dynamic parameters but they all failed stating "Invalid 2D point".

If anyone can clarify that my findings are correct or provide a link or brief tutorial that would be much appreciated.


Thanks in advance to all advice and comments,

There is no support for 3D in dynamic blocks. Nothing will affect objects in the Z axis, nor can you stretch solids in any axis.
