Link rotation to linear parameter

[lhunt]

Hello All,

I am looking to rotate a group of objects based off a length parameter. The user would be able to lengthen the line as they desired (hopefully constrained so to not go on forever) and the group of objects would rotate based on the length of that line. I was hoping to be able to constrain it to around 3/4 of a full circular rotation. 

Basically the user 'pulls' the line in a (single) linear direction and the objects rotate up to a fixed amount (and thus the line would not be able to be stretched further either)

I am wondering if this is possible rather than the specifics and locations of the elements. If it is I can take the suggestions and work them into my design.

Regards.

You can do it with increments and either a block properties table or a double lookup.  I do not believe there is a way to link the rotation parameter to a linear parameter's movement accurately without an increment and filling out all the matching values in a table, though.

Are you looking for something like >>this<<? 

Otherwise let us see your dwg example please. 

BTW: In the video the angular dimension is rounded to 0 decimals. it is in this example always exact the same value as the lengthen of the line. If needed you also can add a factor between length and angle or add or subtract a constant value, whatever you want.

That's exactly it, Thank you
