Link a dimension to an attribute?

[dfuehrer]

Hello all,

I am wondering if it is possible to link the value of a selected dimension to an attribute? The attribute would have to update if the dimension's length were to be edited.

Thoughts?

Thanks! :)

Sure, create an object field using the dim's measurement, format%lu precision%pr, prefix & suffix[,]. Create an example then look at the Field expression: at the bottom to see what to include in the field with strcat. First verify the object type, get object, and use (vla-get-objectid object) for the objectid to use in the field.

OK... Clear as mud. Sorry.
