I have a block that needs to be rotated based on the location of this block, but along with the geometry, I also have an attribute whose rotation angle I would like to remain at 0°.
Part A of my question is Would it be better to put the rotation on the text or on the lines of the block?
Part B is ... how do I do it? Still haven't ventured very far into Dynamic Blocks. :oops:
Thanks!

Not sure about the attribute part, but for rotating the block I would use an alignment parameter (see attached DWG).
-
we ended up using a reactor to keep the attribute's rotation at zero in the blocks that used alignment parameters.
-
For a attribute its position must be locked, and agree with Matt on using a alignment parameter.
For a start here is a rotation action for the whole block(lines and symbols) and one for the text only.

Thanks a lot, guys!

Hi,
Try this :-)
Alignment parameter is good for quickly rotate blocks, but I don't this you can rotate attribute.
So i used a rotate action and move action, then you can rotate the block, and the attribute will follow ...
huhu, it's my first post since i registered :-o
