Need Help with dynamic block

gottfriedjoseph01 — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 13:20:07 GMT

I have a block that I want to add multiple attributes to. I can't add the third attribute without screwing up the others. I want to be able to edit the text that sales scale: 3/4" = 1-0". Every time I try to add the attribute it replaces it with other attributes that are already there.

Hello @gottfriedjoseph01

I don't see any problem in adding additional attributes to the blocks.

Instead of adding an additional attribute to show the current annotation scale, you could insert the field which would automatically update the current scale 🙂

Please find the attached drawing with one block using the text and another one using the attribute.

Hello @gottfriedjoseph01

Sure, I can help you out. Please select the block and right click => Block editor

Then edit the text and delete the scale which is typed in. Now right click and select and "insert field".

Select the field category others and choose the "CANNOSCALE" and click "ok".

You will the see the current annotation scale now.

Close the block editor and you will see the annotation scale in the block change as per the annotation scale set.
