-In the dynamic block editor environment, we will see different panels like parameters, actions, visibility, etc…
-Today let’s perform “Linear parameter” and “Stretch action”.
-What we want to do is stretch this part dynamically to increase the length of our table.
-First, select the “Linear” parameter.
-On the command prompt select “Name” option.
-Input a proper name like “Length”.
-Then pick a start and endpoint, and specify the label location.
-Right now, no action is associated with this parameter yet.
-Let’s select the “Stretch” action.
-Select the linear parameter to stretch the distance.
-Specify this point to associate with action.
-Window select the stretch frame.
-Select the objects to be stretched.
-And specify the action label location.
