Thread: Object Position in Field

    Default Object Position in Field

    I am trying to create a field that creates an XYZ in a block.
    I have tried to select the block, but I don’t see position as an option to choose in the object field.
    Any ideas how to create a block that auto-updates the XYZ coords when you move it?

    Anyone?
    Seems simple enough…attach XYZ values to a block.
    Thoughts?

    You can create a field out of Block def, link to Position of Block, and group them together

    Cool Re: Object Position in Field

    Here i post 2 solution.
    One as i mentioned above, use a field outside Block definition and group all together
    Other use BlockPlaceHolder and Attribute inside Block Def. Have fun

    Thanks. Question, how do you get the xyz Coords to update once you move the block around? Regen doesn’t seem to do it.

    I type in FIELDEVEL and I believe it is currently set at 31?

    31 should work -- and the example is updating here w/ no problem.

    You did explode the container drawing, right?

    I simply moved your block in the drawing and did a regen…saw no results. What do I need to explode?
    PS…thanks for the hand-holding!
