Topic: Block Question

[V-Man]

I have a block with attributes for placing into rooms. Part of the block is the square footage indicated by (Sq. Ft.) see image below...

The "Sq. Ft." part is just text, not an attribute. Basically I only want the (number value) in the attributes part of the block not the text "Sq. Ft."

The problem is that I need the "Sq. Ft." part to auto adjust accordingly if the value (number) grows bigger and/or smaller. Does any of this make sense?

What is the code draft you have so far?.... it might help us

Currently, I have no code. I wasn't even sure this was a LISP question.

I have no time right now to write some sample code for you, but why you don't use another attribute for the sq-ft part, and use a vba event or vlisp reactor or a routine to update the position, base on the scale of the block....

It would keep it from being perfectly centered, but what about placing the "sq. ft." at a location that would give a centered appearance for an average room size, then right justifying your size attribute?  Not the most perfect method perhaps but definitely the most easierest.

yes...it's possible...

but a little question...
why to put the sq.ft. in simple text and is not included in
the attribute ?
