      Hi all

      I am new to dynamic component and I am facing a problem, I hope you will be able to help me out.

      I am trying to do a dynamic frame with 45 degrees junctions. I have successfully fixed the width of the frame border, but when I change the size of the frame, my 45 degrees junctions are messed up.

      Here are two screenshot of my problem :

      What can I do to keep these junction at 45 degrees ??

      Thank in advance.

        Create the 4 corners and 4 sides each as separate groups. When you stretch it you only stretch the sides and the corners remain at 90 degree angles. Here is an old window example I made that does this (similar to what you're doing).

          I was thinking about this method, but I didn't know I will be able to hide the line, so I though my corner will have visible separation with the rest of my frame.

          I see on your example that they can be hidden and that is totally invisible, so I will that way too.

          Thank for your help.
