Use parameter sets to add commonly paired parameters and actions to your dynamic block definition.
You add a parameter set to your block the same way you add a parameter. The action included in the parameter set is automatically added to your block definition and associated with the added parameter. You must then associate a selection set (geometry) with each action.
When you first add a parameter set to your dynamic block definition, a yellow alert icon is displayed next to each action. This indicates that you need to associate a selection set with each action. You can double click the yellow alert icon (or use the BACTIONSET command) and follow the Command prompts to associate the action with a selection set.
The following table lists the parameter sets provided on the Parameter Sets tab of the Block Authoring palette.
Parameter Set | Description |

Linear Move Pair | Adds a linear parameter with two grips and a move action associated with each grip to the dynamic block definition. |
Linear Stretch Pair | Adds a linear parameter with two grips and a stretch action associated with each grip to the dynamic block definition. |
