flip action with attributes doesn"t work?

[j.bongers]

when I try to flip attributes values they remain in original position.

Is there something I can do to make this work (text not up side down)?

1. Post the block so we can help

2. Change The attribute LOCK POSITION to YES so they can be affected by other stuff

3. Remove them from the flip and add them to a point move.

4. Add the point move to the flip and chain it to the flip as well

I tried to apply your advice but I does not really work

Herewith the drawing file with the block in it.

I am also trying to get 2 phantoom lines in it which represent the bend area.

The distance from the 2 lines to the dashed line should be equal and I have to manipulate them by changing just one parameter. I have tried to do something with constraints but I don't know how that works.

You forgot to chain the point move. See the first image.

Change the basepoint of the DISTANCE to MIDPOINT and then add a move parameter to either end and add whichever line is at the relevant end to the relevant move. See the second image. You don't need to use constraints

The drawing is also attached

I was wondering what I was doing wrong besides the chain action, but I found at that I was trying to repeatedly modifying the existing block.

When I inserted a new block with it worked.

Because I am transforming all my detailing blocks to a annotative format;

Is there perhaps a way that the "bend area" parameter does not change when I change the scale?

No since it's part of the block it will scale with the block
