Block calculating values from its attribute

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:44:18 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to create block which would calculate some values.

In fact I want to input Volume of an object and get it weight and mass calculated automatically

I've tried using combined FIELD - FORMULA and OBJECT VALUE expressions but all I can get is error "####"
When I want to get simple Value from block attribute and also it didn't give any result.

When I've exploded this block FORMULA worked fine.

Do You know any solution for that problem?
Or maybe any post that I've missed could give me a hint?

Thanks in andvance for Your time.

Tomasz

Can you post a copy of the block ?

Is it a dynamic block, fields in a dynamic block will only show the values in the block definition !

Where are values (objects) your fields refer too - in the block? in attributes? in variables?

Or are your fields within an attribute?

The answer will vary depending on the situation, seeing the block will make answering much easier.

Thanks for support, just forgot to reply.

As I remember I followed one of Your posts with example dynamic block.

I just added a visibility state and it solved the problem.
