Corner snap on rotation

agbrewster99 — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 15:35:36 GMT

Hi all,

As the subject suggests, I'm attempting to create a 'detail call-out' block to use at my workplace, however, I can't get an element of it to work.

As I rotate the call-out text around the indicating box I want the end of the leader to snap to a corner of the box.

Attached is a basic version of what I'm trying to describe, if someone is able to help solve this issue it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Alfie

hi!

I think you don't need flip parameters

you need 1 point parameter with stretch with your double lookup

Piece of cake. See screencast.

As ojuris mentioned you can also just use a point/stretch and add it to you output table and change its coordinates accordingly, eliminating the flips.
