Vykon Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Guys, I have no experience with creating dynamic blocks and I have been looking for help in creating one. I have attached a basic PTZ block and what I want it to do is when I rotate the block past a certain point +/-90 degrees the text rotate within the rectangle so it's never upside down. Can I get any direction on what route I need to take to get this done? PTZ.dwg Quote
Gatekeeper101 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I'm not sure about having just one parameter to accomplish this, however here are a few ideas that might help in resolving this issue. PTZ_1 just rotates the block, excluding the text with a point move parameter so you can move the text to a desired location. PTZ_2 is a little more complex, but not by much; You have a rotation parameter again set to increment in 5 deg and a limitation on how far it can turn. The block also has a flip parameter to flip the block when you need to have it point in the back/front side of the 180 deg. There are probably a dozen other ways to accomplish this, but these were the simplest ways I could think of. You could use more parameters and a look up table to get this perfectly the way you want it. PTZ_1.dwg PTZ_2.dwg Quote
