Hi guys.

 

I'm tryng to create a block for an electrical use, that consists in a bridge (Arc) holding an equipment symbol, the issue is that I want to apply a polar stretch to move around while keeping the symbol in the center, all this with only one grip. But any combination that I've tried doesn't work as I expect.

With some tweaks and changes to how things are moved / stretched, I believe the attached block is what you want it to do.

I've made some more changes to the block. It won't "Stretch" below a certain size now. Also the "R" will always stay upright.

See the attached drawing.

Your stretch over both horizontal lines I moved so it only affected the left hand line.

I added a point stretch to the left hand point of the right hand line and chained it to the main polar stretch so it would always stay with the circle. I added a linear stretch to the right hand line and chained that to the main polar stretch.

To keep the text upright I removed it from the stretches. I added a point move parameter and added the text to that. Then I chained the move to the main stretch.
