MText in a dynamic block

Anonymous — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 00:42:37 GMT

ACA 2015:

I'm updating an old dynamic block. Kind of starting from scratch. I created the DB with all the parameters and actions to get it to work correct. BUT the only thing that is the problem is that 1 of the 2 mtext objects in the DB doubles its' distance from its original position when I flip the block. When I flip it back, it doubles again. I had to 'resetblock'.

Now, I've been troubleshooting the problem and it comes down to this, when the the mtext is not connected to the stretch parameter, it flips ok. Once I add a stretch parameter and action, this is when the mtext doubles its location when flipping.

What am I missing?

thanks.

Post the block.

Actually, I just figured out the problem. When selecting objects to flip, do not select any parameters that are chained. I had a parameter that was set as midpoint and the action multiplier was at .5 so everytime I flipped the DB, the mtext doubled its' distance from the block.
