    Question Dynamic Block Linear Parameter(s) question/issue

    Hello AUGI members -

    I have a question about linking the movement of on linear parameter to another linear parameter. In the attached block I have two visibility. The issue I have is in the 'Elevation Datum Right' visibility.

    The horizontal line is stretchable and the text below the line can be moved. What I am wondering is there a way to to make the text so it can not be moved past the length of the horizontal line. If so the ideal situation would be to have the text stop short of the horizontal line by .25.

    Thank you all in advance for any help you may provide.

    Edit the block an remove the Text move parameter and action in the right datum visibility state. Make the selection area of the stretch action larger to include the text and attributes. Then add them to the selection set of the stretch action. Now stretching the line to the right will move the text and attributes by the same amount at the line. If an object falls entirely within a stretch actions window it will move the entire object.

    Another option would be to add a move action to the current Datum line parameter and use it to move the text/attributes. (A parameter can more than one action assigned to it)

    Yet another option, add the text move parameter to the selection set of the stretch action and enlarge the selection area to include its grip. Set the text move parameter to chain its action and then set its grip to 0. One grip then activates both parameters and their actions.

    Thank you for your response. It appears I left out one vital part in my previous post. I want the text to be able to be stretched independently from the horizonal line but not go past the end of the line.

    Hmmm, ok. Reverse the direction of the Text move parameter then include all of it in the datum line stretch action. It should then move when the datum line is stretched but not allow itself to be moved further to the left.
