Making the named attribute in a block stay centered horizontally in the block

Hi everyone. I used AutoCAD daily but dont normally create or edit dynamic blocks. I appreciate any help that can be given about my question.

 

I've attached a file that includes a simple rectangular object with an attribute (LOCATION_NAME) that is at the top of the object. The width and height of the object are adjustable with grips, but what I'd like to happen is that the attribute stays horizontally centered on the object no matter how wide the object is made to be.

 

Hopefully I'm explaining this clearly! Any help is welcome. Thank you.

@Libbya could you post the modified file? For some reason I am not able to reproduce the steps exactly.

I don't save the files.

 

To make it easier to follow the screencast, make it fullscreen, play it at 1/2 speed and keep an eye on the command line.

 

I deleted the extra parameter, then associated the orphaned move action with the remaining horizontal linear parameter taking care to associate it with the point that has the grip, then with the move action selected I changed the distance modifier property to 0.5.
