    Exclamation Dynamic Block - Array Malfunction

    Hey all, I am trying to make an adjustment to a dynamic block.
    The issue at hand is that there is an array of holes with two columns. The idea is that the 2nd column to the right is to stretch 1:1 with the depth so that the hole spacing stays inset from the front and back at the correct distance.

    When I apply the parameter and action to the hole for that column it works fine. Either using Move or Stretch, it will move to the right as needed when the depth is changed, but when I use "Reset Block" then try changing the depth it will no longer move that 2nd column at all and stays stationary.

    How can I fix this bug? Thanks!

    Instead of a stretch action for the right column, you might try a move action. My limited testing allowed for the array action to continue to work along with the move action after a blockreset.

    Tried with a move action as well. I got the same result oddly. Even with two separate linear parameters and associating the right one with a move action causes the same bug after a block reset.

    I am using LT, let me test this in full AutoCAD to see if it's an LT bug.

    You want to share your block for others to dissect?

    Sure, here's the block with the issue.
    A workaround for now is to grip the array and set it to the same spot to force the block to update correctly. Odd, but it will fix the issue after a "Block Reset".

    I would recommend you delete the Stretch2 action. Replace it with a Move action associated to the Distance2 parameter. The selected elements for the new Move action should be the circle, the Distance3 parameter, and the associated grip for the parameter.
