      Whith the DC function CURRENT you can access the dynamic dictionary value 'LenX' of the component:
      =CURRENT("LenX")/2

      How can I make a similar function and access the dictionary?

      class DCFunctionsV1
      protected
      def mycurrent(param_array)
      # Question:
      # WHAT CODE IS NEEDED HERE TO ACCESS THE DICTIONARY?
      #
      end
      end

        You cannot do that, and still have a Dynamic Component that is version 1.

        I'm not here much anymore.

          The name of the dictionary is "dynamic_attributes"

          If you have to mess the Component's dictionary, do it using:
          comp.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes","keyname") and leave the **DC** classes alone. (They are scrambled for very good reasons, and should be considered a part of Sketchup.)

          I'm not here much anymore.

            I found it. With

            @source_entity.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes", "somekey") 
            

            you can access the dictionary-values.

              I'm not here much anymore.

                The

                @source_entity 
                

                was the key. No echo!

                And get_attribute should only read values and not mess the dictionary.
