You highlighted that Acad LT does not allow Constraints. Can the same functionality you presented here be achieved in LT - or do you need to constrain first? Thanks

Hi Brandon, thanks for this information and sharing. You mention doing cabinets and I have watched about 20 ppl do videos on Dynamic blocks, but none of them touch on the issue I am having. I am working on a Kitchen Cabinet (the front frame of the cabinet box), there are 2 upper drawers over an opening for double doors below. To the right are 3 drawers. The drawers are not an issue for me when "stretch" is used, but how do I get the upper drawers to stretch to the right sizes, when I need the left side of the cabinet to stretch? I need the upper drawers to maintain their width, (exact same with for each drawer opening) with 1 3/8" in between. perhaps you have another video out there... Thank you! Lisa

I can't even describe my relief when you started talking without an Indian accent.

Thank you for this! There is a Test Block inside of the block editor (upper right corner) Do you don't have to save & close everytime.

Thanks sir...
Can we write an expression on action parameter?
Or there is a lisp that make this?

Wouldn't the equals line constraint eliminate a good chunk of the needed dimensions? I haven't used these features in autocad but, in inventor that would be the cleanest way to so the same.

Not really a video should how to use Actual Parameters. This video is strictly Constraints.
