    Default Dynamic Block & constraints

    I'm trying to make a dynamic block of our typical shaped counter top support and cannot figure out how to keep the 2" radius stay smooth. If i add a tangent to it it makes it do all kinds of goofy stuff. I'm sure it's a simple fix that i just can't seem to pin point. Any suggestions?

    We have found that if you place all geometric constraints before adding dimensional constraints there is a less chance of conflicts. I would delete all the linear parameters and actions, place all geometric constraints then finally put in dimensional constraints. Another thing to think about is sometimes geometric constraints don't play well with parameters and actions.
