Callout with flip tied to point-scale

Anonymous

I'm sure this may be a simple solution, but is there a way to tie a flip action with the movement of a scaled point?  I've gotten the attached block to behave as desired, with the one qualification of having to flip the point from left to right. 

 

Any help would be appreicated.

Thanks Libbya.  Is there a quick explanation you could give as to what actions are tied to others?  I can't seem to replicate the action, regardless of order. 

 

Also, as this block is annotative, is there a way to associate a basepoint with the point in which the annotation scale is scaled from?

System variable BACTIONBAREMODE must be set to 0 to see all the actions.  I added two chained point/moves that stretch the two endpoints of the horizontal line segment.  The flip action flips those two point parameters.  I deleted your linear parameter (that wasn't doing anything) and replaced it with a polar parameter with basepoint at center of circle and endpoint at end of leader.  I added a stretch to the polar parameter to stretch the end of the leader.  I then added a double lookup (do a search on the forum to find the walkthrough I posted on how to make them).  One of the two tables has the Angle from the polar parameter added as an input parameter.  It has two rows for values 270-360-90 and 90-270.  The other table controls the flip parameter.  Basically any time the polar angle value changes from one row to the next, the flip is flipped accordingly.

 

I don't understand your second question.  The annotation scaling always occurs relative the base point.

Basically I'm having trouble getting the basepoint (at the end of the leader line) to move with the leader AND the annotation to scale from that moved basepoint.  Not sure if that was any clearer.
