I have a dynamic block (one of very few in our library) that has a symbol with two or three attributes. After inserting the block I want to be able to move the attributes as a group anywhere around the insertion point of the block within a certain radius (as shown by the hidden lines). I don't want people to move the attributes TOO far from the symbol to which they are referring.
I'm nearly illiterate when it comes to dynamic blocks ( :( ) and need some help... with this.
Should I be using the Point parameter or XY... or neither?
-
perhaps set an incremental stretch...and limit the allowable distance
-
Nngg-Kay... Uhm...
When I try to do what I THINK I need to do to get there, I select the objects (the two attributes) and get "2 unlocked AttDefs filtered from selection".
What am I doing wrong or NOT doing right?

Try this one Mike .. the key to moving attributes is locking the position of them. (bear in mind I'm fairly d-block inept) :-D
-
open in block editor...
add parameter
edit the parameter properties
adjust incremental-ness
be sure to select those objects in the stretch definition

That's perfect!
Now, to go figure out how you did it! :)
Thank-you VERY much!

No problem :) I updated the post above with a different version that removes the grip from the insertion point.
