Data Extraction with Dynamic blocks with attributed fields.

I am having issues with my dynamic tool pallet inserts.

I embedded single line and Multi-line attributes with fields and formulas, to produce data for individual components that make up each panel.

When I insert a field, I select formula then right click and add another field inside the formula box.

Then select object. I reference one of my lines from my block then add or subtract to get the value needed.

All values are created without any issues. I am able to close and save the block synchronize block then modify and the table will update. I even went back into block editor and all the values were all calculating correctly. Everything seemed to be working without any issues until I tried to extract data to a table. Some of my object references were lost. Even when I went back into block editor.

All the inserts are all set up the same. Why are some keeping the reference while others are not.

The inserts will also lose their object reference when the drawing is closed. I’m I doing something wrong?

Nope, the screencast is not visible in the post. I'll try to reply after watching the screencast, so that I'll get a better idea of the issue.

Try posting the link for the screencast.
