Rotation Parameter with minimum and maximum angles.

Hi i have an issue, i am making a dynamic block with around ten visibility states, in each state there is a rotation parameter and each rotation parameter need to rotate the other rotation parameters in the other visibility states, that part i have done with no issues, the problem is that i need to limit the angles between 0 and 81 degree's with the blocks are set with the grip at 44 degrees, all works ok on the first visibility state but when you go to another visibility state the bas points for the limits have been rotated  as well so the 0 - 81 degree's doesn't work. can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong. 

i have attached a basic drawing below.

Are the limits on the rotation the same on all visibility states?
If so, you don't need 10 different rotation dimensions and 10 different actions, you can simply select objects from another visibility state to work with the first action.

the rotation point grip point on each visibility state needs to be at a larger diameter so i need multiple rotation parameters to make the block work.

Okay in that case:

 

Your rotation actions include the other angle parameters, which causes them to rotate as well.
Remove these from the rotate action and your problem should be fixed.

Based on the example I'd approach this differently.  Rather than use visibility states for different lengths and a rotation for each one,  I'd use a single Polar Parameter with a Polar Stretch action.  This combination can do both stretching and rotation.  The stretch can be limited to a list of values and the rotation can have limits on the rotation as well.  One grip does it all.
