Linked Attributes, Dynamic Block Vis states, Fields?
Has anyone experimented with linking 'constant' attributes with a master group of 'invisible' ones?
what i am trying to accomplish is have left / right vis states (with appropriate justification) but have it linked to the 'editable' attributes. the logic is that i only have to edit once for all vis states of block.
i have already searched for "linked, attributes" and am kind of trying to expand on Mark D's blog method (using lookup tables) into something completely custom editable.
Thanks!!

Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

I'd be interested in a solution myself. Seems you can't flip attributes. How sad!

i haven't found the solution yet, but you can flip attributes, but the justification will stay the same

How would you handle a situation like this? The geometry has to have capability of rotating in 90 degree increments. The attribute has to be available in all 3 visibility states and moveable when the object is in 90 and 270 degree positions. The two texts are each visible in their own respective states, and must also move when the object is rotated to 90 and 270 deg positions.
I am having trouble getting the attribute and text to move when the object is rotated.
The fact that I could not find anything similar on the provided tool palette leads be to believe the capability is not yet there.
I hope someone can prove me wrong.

I am having trouble attaching things (the pop-up blocker keeps coming up even though I disabled it)
The attachment should be with this.
Re: Linked Attributes, Dynamic Block Vis states
If you want to move your text while rotating (but not rotate the text) then you need to set a point parameter for the text and include only the point parameter in the rotation action. Then you need a move action for the text to the point parameter. The point parameter needs to have the 'Chains' property set to Yes.
Does that help?
