automatically flip attribute text in dyn block

[Klingi162]

Hey guys,

I'm using a dynamic block (file is attached) to set my hights within a section, everything works pretty nice, except for the attribute text.

I have a dropdown list for differnent situations.

Now my issue:
The text for the first 5 points in my list are fine like that, but the last 4 should point me the hight below a celing and therefor flip the text under the little triangle. I tried quiet everything but didn't come to a solution. The flip-parameter only works for mtext but not for attributes and isn't anyway what I'm trying to achieve, because it should automatically flip like the triangle already does. I also can't input second attribute and turn off the first one via "visibility", because I'm running a Lisp which then gets confused if there are more than one attribute in the block.

I'm a little bit frustrated already and hope you guys could help me. 

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Start with Locking your Attribs.

Attribs will not respond to Dynamic Actiosn if they are not Locked

Hey Charles,

I tried what you suggested, but unfortunatly it didn't do what I was looking for.

I'd like to work with the visibiltystatus only, without the need to flip the attribute or anything. It should automatically flip or move the attibute it when I select a certain value from my visibiltylist.

Simple put: Attribute position controlled by visibility state

[Charles_Shade]

Likely two Attrib positions that each read the height with one placed at each location.

Depending on the Vis State one or the other would show.

Can you post a static example? 

[Klingi162]

I guess thats the thing I'm looking for, two attributes that read the height. I hope, that it will still work with my Lisp though. 

I post the file and taged it for a better understanding.

Thanks for your help

I just found a way via Lookup that flips the attribute when I change the visibility state.

thx anyway Charles

It's helpful to future readers who use the search to actually post the solution.  

Instead of a second attribute, I would add a lookup parameter that coordinated the visibility state with an incremental linear move that placed the text at the desired position.

That is what the OP did it seems.
