I can't get it to work. I can create the XY parameter with one grip. When I add horizontal stretch action, and choose that grip, then how do I define the stretch frame? Same question for the vertical stretch action. When I figure it out, I'll made a video. Ellen Can you provide more details? I can’t get it to work.

It's a shame there's no backward compatibility with the new constraints. That takes them right off the table at my office.

But to create a kind of dynamic object that might be changed often, it would be very useful. Ellen For one time, you’re right.
