Annotative Block With Dynamic Properties - Rotation Issues at Annotative Scales


nwinslow

Recommended Posts

I created the attached block to add spot elevations to a drawing. The block has attributes allowing elevations to be manually typed in, but also includes many dynamic features for rotation, lengthening, mirroring, etc. The block was created as an annotative block.

 

The block and all of its features work perfect as long as the dynamic features (rotation, etc) are not used after additional annotative scales are added. I often times have a drawing set at 1:10 or 1:20 scale and need to do an enlarged detail at 1:5.

 

What I would like to do is have this block set at 1:10 scale and 1:5 scale and manually rotate it (ideally using the dynamic features) at different angles for each scale. Is this possible and if so, why is it not working with this block? This works flawlessly when using annotative multileaders, so why shouldn't it work with blocks or is this just too labor intensive for the software?

 

I have also tried attsync, etc. and often times when rotating at different annotative scales, the text attributes go "bonkers" for the opposing scale when applying attsync.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not possible with a flip action and a multiline attribute. Change your ELEV2 attribute to a single line and your problem is solved.

 

You can use a block properties table though.

Hi Iconeo,

 

Been a while since your post, but that column tag is awesome the way it automatically flips, very classy.  Can you share?

Can you have a look and advise?

Are you just trying to keep the text so that it is readable? Try changing the angle of the block properties so that it inverts as you rotate it. You will need to apply the same rotational effect to the other text bubble as well.
