Having attributes move Dynamic block stretch

[cadconcepts]

Hi Everyone-

I just created an attributed block that I added the dynamic block stretch feature too which seem to work for most of the block except for the attribute tags which are left at the initial insertion location. When I defined the stretch feature, I made sure to include the attribute definitions but that doesn't seem to work. Has anyone come up with a workaround to this problem? Thanks.

I have come up with 2 discoveries. Whether true or simply user ignorance, I'll let everyone else decide .....

1. If I'm working with an older block (pre-2006), I find that the attribute tags do not generally do what I ask them to for Dynamic Blocks. I generally have to re-do them. It does not take long to redo, and once created, if I match properties, the height and all that is automatically adjusted without affecting the tags' malleability.

2. Make sure that the attribute tags are set to NO in the "Lock Position" setting found at the bottom of the properties dialog. After this, they do anything I please.

I hope this info helps SOMEONE.
