Hi all,

In autocad, I have a file containing information I would like to merge.

Using the picture below will help to figure out the situation :

I have a block and texts. I want to add the text string "(1.00) Z=190.98" to a new attribute of my block.

Offsets between text insertion's point and block insertion's point are always the same offset x= 0.14 offset y = -1.25.

Then the next step is to compute the value. Ideally, the attribute must have the calculated value 191.26-1.40= 189.86.

 

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Arka

Use the coordinates of the block and use a vertexcreator (replace with point) to create the point with the offset. Use a PointOnPointOverlayer to identify the desired point. For the last part split the text of the value and use the arithmetic calculator to get the calculated value.

Hi @stalknecht,

Thank you for your answer, it works !

Now I have a problem to write the "new value" as attribute of the block.

What is the best way to fill in an attribute info ?

My problem is solved now (I was wrong in a transformer before the "writer").

 

Nevertheless, thank you
