    Default Scaling & Rotating Dynamic Blocks

    Hello all,
    Dynamic blocks dislike being scaled and/or rotated - they lose their handles. At first I thought I had done something wrong, but I tested the ones that came with the program & found that they behave the same way. Also in some cases moving them by a few metres bring the handles back. Am I the only one who's having this problem?

    What as the one out-of-he-box you tested ?
    Did you make sure that you included the action in each one ?

    I tested only 2 out of the box - the tree & the car - both of which lost their visibility handles after scaling up by 100 (uniform scaling) & then rotating a few times. It's quite inconsistent - at times it takes only 1 rotation, other times it takes a few.
    I just tested the car again and after losing the handle I rotated it 180 degrees & it was OK again!

    This behavior has been noted before. I would suspect that Autodesk will address the issue soon.
