Dynamic Block Lookup Input Value?

Dynamic Block Lookup Input Value?

Dynamic Block Lookup Input Value?

(OP)
Hello.

AutoCad 2006/2007
I want to use dynamic blocks to switch between the plate sizes we use by getting the user to enter width and heights of steel flat plates.


All plates need to have the base point in the centre.

Is there a way so I can get the user to enter the size of plate he wants ie valueX, valueY?

I have over 20 plates and we keep adding more so I don't want to use the visibility, I'm looking at the Lookup with Stretching or scaling.


I'm sure this can be done easily but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any suggestions?


Matt
