DYNAMIC BLOCKS MOVING TEXT AND ATTRIBUTES IN BLOCK EDITOR

harris — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 14:36:13 GMT

I have no idea why this is happening i have created hundreds of inserts and it only seems to be happening when the text is constrained to an attribute and they are on the left side of the origin. (Don't think that has anything to do with it.) i have also tried the text on MTEXT that didn't work either. Also I have tried to move it manually in block editor it does the same thing goes the opposite direction. Does anyone have the slightest clue on how to fix this?

Also the text is not plain text it has 2 Fields that reference objects to get the appropriate length.

Hello @harris,

It seems its related to the text attribute try editing it.

Try using the Manage Attributes tool > select the attribute "Edit" > "Text Options" > "Justification" for example.

I have the attribute on middle right justification and my text on middle left justification so i can use the coincident constraint so they are spaced properly. If its justified any other way the attribute and text will overlap each other because both of there values are always changing.

I just figured it out.

Its because i constrained the attribute to the text using coincident constraint once i deleted it. everything seemed to work exactly as i would like it to.
