Stretch Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds a stretch action to the dynamic block
definition when you associate the action with a point, linear, polar, or XY
parameter. A stretch action causes objects to move and stretch a specified
distance in a specified location.
Polar Stretch Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds a polar stretch action to the
dynamic block definition when you associate the action with a polar parameter.
A polar stretch action rotates, moves, and stretches objects a specified angle
and distance when the key point on the associated polar parameter is changed
through a grip or the Properties palette
Rotate Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds a rotate action to the dynamic block
definition when you associate the action with a rotation parameter. A rotate
action is similar to the ROTATE command. In a dynamic block reference, a
rotate action causes its associated objects to rotate when the associated
parameter is edited through a grip or the Properties palette.
Flip Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds a flip action to the dynamic block
definition when you associate the action with a flip parameter. With a flip
action you can flip a dynamic block reference about a specified axis called a
reflection line.
Array Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds an array action to the dynamic block
definition when you associate the action with a linear, polar, or XY parameter.
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.
Lookup Action (BACTIONTOOL) Adds a lookup action to the dynamic block
definition. 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.
Parameter Sets Tab (Block Authoring Palettes Window)
Provides tools for adding a parameter and at least one action at the same time
to a dynamic block definition in the Block Editor. When you add a parameter
set to a dynamic block, the actions are automatically associated with the
parameter. After you add a parameter set to a dynamic block, you double-click
the yellow alert icon (or use the BACTIONSET command) and follow the
Command prompts to associate the action with a selection set of geometry.
Point Move Automatically adds a move action associated with the point
parameter.
Linear Move Automatically adds a move action associated with the endpoint
of the linear parameter.
