Double Lookup Table Problem

J_NortonF9L6Y — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:52:24 GMT

Good morning.

I'm creating a dynamic block with a double lookup table to control the rotation of text. I must admit this is my first time using a double lookup table, and I've run into a problem that I cannot figure out.

When entering the rotation angle "[0.00,90.00],[270.00,0.00)" into the the input properties whenever I press enter or select another cell, the value I entered will delete.

I'm sure it's something simple. I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Try inputting the value ranges as "a less than or equal to" and a "grater than or equal to" format.

(,90),(270,)

[90,270]

Thank you @MMcCall402. I was able to input the values you provided. Any idea why this is the case?

Unfortunately, the text did not rotate correctly.

I've attached an example I found on this board that displays what I'm attempting to accomplish.

@J_NortonF9L6Y I couldn't get the data to appear on one row either so I cheated and put it on two rows. See the attached drawing.

When I opened the Blocks-2 drawing I got the notice that it was created by an earlier version. If you remove the lookup entries, close the lookup editor, then try to put the values back in, it won't accept them. So, I'm thinking it might be related to the version of the software that created the file. I'm using 2024 and it won't accept them.

I've also noticed that sometimes it changes the [ or ] to a ( or ), amd according to the syntax info I have, that means something different.
