help with a dynamic block!
I've not looked at your block, but if you have a linear stretch in there, add a move parameter to it, attach your square to the move parameter and change the distance multiplier to 0.5

I've just opened your drawing and to be honest I'd start from scratch again because you have decimal places in your distances
e.g. instead of being exactly 400 wide your duct is 400.0088 wide

Change the basepoint for Distance2 to the midpoint. Remove the MOVE2 parameter totally, add two more stretches to distance to and change their distance multipliers to 0.8, which will keep them at 20% from the edge of the duct. See the attached drawing

You don't need the constraints, another stretch will do it with an angle offset.
See the attached drawing
I'm not entirely sure why this works 1.6 is 2 x .8 (which is probably why)

Add a move parameter to Distance2. Add your move parameter to it and change the angle to 270 and the distance offset to 0.8. See the attached drawing

Thanks for your help with this...
I've finished with the block, created the new visibility states that I needed but... for some reason all the attribute text inside block still shows when going through the different visibility states despite me telling it when I want to see it and when I don't...
so for instance when I insert the block all the attributes are showing, which is correct but when I change the visibility state to square (for example) all the attributes still remain on even though inside the block I've told the attributes not to show in the square visibility state....
have you come across anything like this before? do you know the answer?
cheers again
😁
@matthew.mccormack2257W Select all the attributes and set the locked position to yes. See the image below. Then save the block and type ATTSYNC at the command line, select the block and choose YES. Then the attributes will disappear when the visibility state changes

@matthew.mccormack2257W add a move and rotate parameter to your attributes. See the attached drawing. You will see both attributes are locked, but the second one has a point move and a rotate action on it.

Yeah it does seem a bit backwards, but that's attributes for you
