Dynamic block question

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Chris Wilkinson, Feb 12, 2007.

  1. Hi there,

    I'm trying to create a new dynamic block at work, using 2007. This
    will be a respresentation of a stormwater grate, with different vis
    states representing a selection of standard sizes, a lookup to choose
    a scale, and 2 attributes defining parameters that construction foremen
    will require to complete installation of the grates. The different sizes
    of grate were easily added with a visibility parameter and lookup table,
    but the attributes need to move to follow the edge of the grates as each
    size is selected, as thats where I'd like them to be placed for a more
    consistent looking drawing.

    Can anyone with more experience than me (3 months) give me a pointer as
    to how I could acomplish that? I've looked at using a point param, and
    move action for each vis state, but cannot figure out how to make the
    point change place and the attributes stay a fixed offset from that,
    with each different grate size.

  2. Hi there,

    Just replying to myself as I've solved it. Changed my approach, by
    removing the need for visibility states (use stretch instead), it
    makes using attributes/fields a little easier as they then are not
    spread across vis states...
