Text frame for Attribute text

Sujan.Maharjan — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 02:47:21 GMT

Hi, I am trying to use mleader which I attached to a dynamic block which had a text frame stretchable but I cannot with Mleader. What is proper solution for this situation.

I believe dynamic blocks are converted to dumb blocks when used in multileaders

Have you tried using a text frame to frame the text?

I Need Text frame on the top text only. I need to extract data as well.

Ok that complicates it.

I would be tempted to bypass the multi leader route and build a dynamic block that behaves like a multi leader.

If you dont wish to go that route i would suggest setting up different custom multi leaders that can handle different string lengths. So if the sting that needs a block is under 5 characters you would have one type of custom multi leader, if its under 10 and over 5 it uses a longer framed text multi leader and so one.

Hi,

I tried to make a dynamic block version. Any suggestions for improvements. And How can I scale like Multileader for other scales without making it annotative?

I might try chaining some of the dynamic elements to reduce the number of grips and look into parametric constraints.

I would hope over to the dynamic block forum and ask if they have any suggestions:
