Dynamic Component Insertion Point

ARoberts123 · 2 Oct 2018, 08:26

Hi,

I am looking for a way to have an insertion point for a dynamic component which is independent of the wrappers defined origin.

Would the best way to do this be to wrap the components again in a group and then add custom attributes to the new top level which mimic the now level below?

I have formulas which depend on the already defined origins, but want an insertion point in a different loction.

I hope this makes sense and someone is able to assist.

thanks

Ashley

Hi!
In my opinion ther are several ways to do this, and it often happens to me to use the method you're suggesting, that's to wrap the DC into a bigger DC.

You know you can make the sub-objects of your DC move, don't you? I often use this method too, and helps solving lots of positioning issues I find.

One last naif question: you know that the origin of the first DC is not to be taken as absolute, and you can make the origin whatever point you like/need, right?

For conceptual questions, it's always nice to attach an example, so it's easier to understand what you're trying to achieve!
