    Default Dynamic Bock and Mtext

    Hello and thanks for looking

    I have a dynamic block that I want the MTEXT to be centered on the square as the square grows in size
    I must be getting old as this sounds like it should be real easy but I can not get it to work, or I am over thinking it

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Thank You

    Hi!

    First I moved the MTEXT, attribute, to the center of the square. Then I added a move action to both linear distance parameters to move the text. The move actions allow you to modify the distance the linear parameter applies to it with a Distance Multiplier. In this case a multiplier of 0.5 will move the text half the distance used for the stretch action. This keeps the text centered.

    Hope this helps
