Make a dynamic arrow label in Autocad

NeoLitik — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 08:48:00 GMT

Hello everyone, I'm creating my own template and I can't seem to make dynamic arrow labels.
I've managed to make it so that the label can be stretched horizontally.
I'd also like to create a mirror effect (which sounds simple when you put it like that) that follows the changes made after stretching (and also stretches at the top and bottom if there are several lines (3 or 4)).
I've tried several solutions, but each time it goes wrong.
With position handles, we'd have a great versatile block!

Attached you will find my attempts... If anyone has any ideas!

Regards and thank you 😄

What about adding a flip action?

BTW: What is the basepoint parameter for? I think you don't need it - delete it.

obviously ! i tried to add a mirror at the middle of the label but your idea to put the flip on the tip of the arrow is a good idea !
What about to add thickness/height to add more than two lines ?

I'd add two stretch actions for manually adjusting the needed height.

Additional note: For improving the handling I'd set the value set of Distance2 to an increment of 5, min. value 10.
