      Attached is a drawing of a girt with four holes in it, two on each end.I am trying to make a dynamic component that when the girt is scaled to be longer the holes will stay in their positions at each end.I have restrained all of the scaling handles except the one on the Y axis. I would really appreciate any help what so ever or a nudge in the right direction to the right tutorials.

      Thanks Kurt

        I might try to make that out of 2 Components - an End (which can be used on either end, and does not scale) and a middle section which is scaled.

        I attached a file - it may need some tweaking, but is basically does what you want. Added a minimum length attribute.

            No problem. If you wanted to optimize a little more, then instead of 2 ends components, one with a DC copy would work.

            If you had needed the hole diameters to be dynamic, that would be a little more challenging.
