• Overview of Using Actions in Dynamic Blocks
• Use a Move Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, a move action behaves similar to the MOVE command.

• Use a Scale Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, a scale action behaves similar to the SCALE command.

• Use a Stretch Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, a stretch action causes objects to move and stretch a specified distance in a specified location.

• Use a Polar Stretch Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, a polar stretch action rotates, moves, and stretches objects a specified angle and distance.

• Use a Rotate Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, a rotate action behaves similar to the ROTATE command.

• Use a Flip Action in a Dynamic Block

  A flip action allows you to flip a dynamic block reference about a specified axis called a reflection line.

• Use an Array Action in a Dynamic Block

  In a dynamic block reference, an array action causes its associated objects to copy and array in a rectangular pattern when the associated parameter is edited through a grip or the Properties palette.

• Use a Lookup Action in a Dynamic Block

  When you add a lookup action to a dynamic block definition and associate it with a lookup parameter, it creates a lookup table. You can use a lookup table to assign custom properties and values to a dynamic block.

• Use Distance Multiplier and Angle Offset Action Overrides

  Some actions have distance multiplier and angle offset override properties. These properties allow you to specify a factor by which a parameter value is increased or decreased when the parameter is edited in a dynamic block reference.
