Field not showing up in block

[nannerdw]

I'm following this tutorial, trying to create a field in a dynamic block to show the length of a line.  If I have the attribute's "constant" value checked, the field shows up in my drawing as "Length: ######."  However, when I uncheck the "constant" checkbox, the field doesn't show up at all, even after I run "UPDATEFIELD" and "REGEN."

I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2009, SP2

could you post the block?

use command   ATTSYNC   to refresh your attributes, when You change them in block

after that all is OK for me in Your block

Thanks.  That worked perfectly.

I ended up just using a dimension for this block, though, so it would update automatically.
