A block is only visible to its parent drawing as a single insertion point. You can move, rotate, or scale it, but no stretching/triming, etc.
It makes sense to allow parameters for some special parts, but it's not within the current v2 design.

Dear Community,
hopefully I have post this question into the right Sub-Forums & Topics Folder. First I posted it into the Introduced Folder. Upps.
Now then,
1) I have drawn a new screw in librecad with the layer "OBJECT" (shape), the "AUXILIARY" and the Layer _stretch_lr_2. Saved it as .dxf in the library-path.
2) After then I open a new draw and choose from the library browser that screw. By pressing the Insert-Button I can change angle, factor and specify reference point.
3) I'm missing the input value of length for the screw.
4) If I understand aright then the _stretch_lr -layer defines the divide-line for asking to the length. The reference length will be needed by the programm to calculate the stretch amount. Is this still supported in librecad??
At the moment I can only stretch the screw by editing the block. And there I don't need the _stretch_-layer-function to stretch the screw anymore.
It would be very helpful to stretch the screw within the draw and not in modifing block mode.
Thank's for any recommendations??
So long!
