Dynamic Block descriptive text won't center right.

Anonymous

I have a dynamic block we use for detail and drawing callouts. It works great for most stuff, but an annoying attribute I can't seem to figure out how to fix is that the descriptive text won't center on the block when i need to hit enter to the second line of text. When I do that the first line remains centered but the second line just goes below that. Any idea? 

 

Also, would love to have is so when i moved the arrow from one side of the block to the other the text would automatically flip sides. 

 

I attached the block here.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

What your stating as dynamic block is actually Multi leader.

I have corrected the attribute by changing the justification of left attribute(justification-middle right) and right attribute(justification-middle left).

Flipping text when arrow is moved is not possible with multi leader. You can try with dynamic block, but my suggestion would be to use the same multi leader with left and right attribute or else move the attribute above the callout in center, so when you move your arrow left or right it wouldn't obstruct the attribute.

Change the justification of the left and right attributes to middle right and middle left respectively.  See screencast.

 

You could potentially have the text flip sides, but I do not know of a way to have that automatically happen within a multileader object.  You could make a faux multileader as a dynamic block but there are downsides to that as well.
