Dynamic Block Stretch, Rotate and Text Issue

Hi Community.

 

I have created a block to reference a data cabinet.

 

I have added all the paramerters that I want the block to have.

 

The issue is when I rotate the block after i have stretched it to size, the text in the middle will sit outside of the block.

 

I want the text to stay centre of the block, this works fine up until I rotate the block after the stretch has been used.

 

I have attached a DWG for reference.

 

The left side is before stretch/rotate is used and text works fine.

 

Middle is stretch after rotation used and text is still working correctly.

 

Right side is rotation used after stretch and issue appears.

 

Many thanks

@ME7CADGuy It's because you're rotating the parameter which rotates the text. Remove Rotate3 from the action of Rotate1 and remove it from the Move of Distance1. Add a point move and use that to move Rotate3, and add it the the Move of Distance1 and the rotate action of Rotate1. Also make sure it's chained. See the attached drawing

@naa_arc_studio You almost had it working perfectly. Remove the right hand attribute from the Stretch2 action and change Position2 so Chain Actions says "YES"

Also attributes should have unique tags. Yours both say NO. I would call one NOLEFT and the other NORIGHT
