Just a quick one.

When adding a stretch action to my block (that successfully works) how do I make it so that any text, or in this case attributes, moves with the stretch.

For instace, say the text is 5mm from the edge of a line. If i stretch the line to make it longer, how can I make the text move with it to remain at 5mm from the end?

just ensure you include it in the selection set. To move attributes you must make sure they are LOCKED!

Excellent. Glad to have your help and glad for such a simple answer,.

Now, can you help me with my next block (attached).

Basically I've added a stretch and a rotate action which both work fine. But, when I use one function and amend the block, the other functions grips says in the same coordinates and not in a position relative to the block.

In this example if I rotate the symbol the scale grip is left in its original position.

Hope it's simple this time (and also that you havent run out of patience).

Again, make sure the grip is included in the selection set. You may have to turn off "chain action" in both the rotate and scale parameters to get this...
