Dimension Dynamic Block

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

As shown in the attached, I have a radial dimension within a dynamic block. 

I was wondering if I can move the position of this dimension without editing the block, like I can with an attribute.

I am using a block property table to edit the radius, with labels "min" and "max". Would it also be possible to somehow link the text in my dimension to show this label - perhaps using a field?

I do not want to use visibility states for this, as I will be using many visibility states already (with double lookup tables) so I'm trying to minimise their use.

Cheers

Sam

As an update to my own post, I have managed to get it to rotate using a rotate parameter (I am new to dynamic blocks) which is good but I still cant get it to stretch. 

I have attached the block that rotates and a second that I've tried to use a polar stretch. This one also rotates but the dimension does not move with the stretch. 

I suspect this is not possible from the lack of replies but I can always hope!

Played with it a little, but now I have to return to my production.
Added Min/Max tag and added it to the rotation. It uses an attribute with a BlockPlaceholder field reference.
You have do a regen after changing states to get it to work.

Based on your current example (you use a parametric dimension for the radius) you can see here how you get the block as you expect. 
But usually I do not suggest to mix parametric constraints and dimension with dynamic Parameters and actions. Often you will run into trouble. (In this simple example it works well).

After changing the radius you must regen the dwg to see the current value (because it is a field).
