Rotating dynamic block with fixed attribute orientations

Anonymous

I'm struggling with a simple dynamic block.

 

The block is a simple arrow with 2 attributes.

I gave the block a rotate parameter and rotate action.

This works fine but the whole block with it's attributes rotate.

 

I would like it when the block can only be rotated to 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees.

The attributes should always be in 0 or 90 degrees orientation.

When the block is rotated in 0 or 180° the attributes should be rotated 0°.

When the block is rotated in 90 or 270° the attributes should be rotated 90°

 

Anyone know how to do this?

 

thanks!

I'm having the same problem with my block.

I want my simple annotation tag arrow to be easily rotated 90, 180, and 270 degrees.  But everything I try for rotation ends up separating the arrow's polar strecth fuction from the arrow itself.  Can you help?

I basically just want the straight arrow to rotate like "Tag Before.dwg", and the arrow stretching part to work like it does in "Tag.dwg"

 

Can anyone help me?

Thanks for this video. I didn't know about the Lookup feature so this taught me a bit more on my dynamic block knowledge.
