Assign Labels to Parameters
When you select the dynamic block reference in a drawing, parameter labels
are assigned to custom properties in the Properties palette. You can specify
whether or not these custom properties are displayed for the block reference
when it is selected in a drawing. These properties can also be extracted using
the Attribute Extraction wizard.
It is good practice to specify unique parameter labels within the block.
Distance Multiplier Overrides
Use the distance multiplier property to change a parameter value by a specified
factor. For example, if you set the distance multiplier property to 2 for a stretch
action, the associated geometry in the block reference would increase and
double the distance of the grip movement.
Angle Offset Overrides
Use the angle offset property to increase or decrease the angle of a changed
parameter value by a specified amount. For example, if you set the angle offset
property of a move action to 90, the block reference would move 90 degrees
beyond the angle value of the grip movement.
