    Change Length of Line Based on Length of Attribue?

    Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?

     

    I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum).  But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).

     

    TIA!

    The Holy Grail that is.

    Well that and the length of a text object too.

    That sounds like a fun way to say "no".  :smileywink:
