dynamic block issues

itsnathanblake — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 13:04:39 GMT

Hi there, I am having an issue with a dynamic scale bar which for some reason has placed a move action on top of my variable one. as seen here -

But when I look in the block editor it doesn't show anything there -

please help me to get this sorted 🙂

is that a move or just the visibility grip?

Can you insert the dynamic block in a host drawing and post it in a reply? That way we can have a look and advise/help.

For some reason it's only occurring on the A3 paper space, all other page sizes are fine.

I dont know how to do that so snips will the best i can do atm.

It's as simple as using the test block window, copying the block to the clipboard and pasting it into a blank drawing and saving that drawing to your documents and then posting it here on the forum using the a windows file folder to check your documents and "drag and drop here" icon/window just below where I am typing this reply (yours should be the same).

If I look closely I can see two grips on top of each other in your screenshot. You need to move one of the two away so that at differing resolutions and at various positions along their field of travel, they can never end up on top of each other. If blocks are not built with this in mind they often have to be right-click reset when a user gets the two grips on the same coordinate position by mistake.

Since the screenshot is only of a portion of the block it is impossible to tell but the square grip I see might actually be the blocks insertion point. Either way the advise is the same, keep distance between insertion point and any grips (as well as all grips with each other).

Hope my guess is correct.
