(MText value from user parameter) inside a block

Illyrius

I have done the following:

• created a user parameter named "nr" with the value 34
  
• inserted a field in the MText --> Objects --> Formula.
  

filled in the form as follows:

• Formula: nr
  

gives:

• Field expression: %<\AcExpr (nr)>%
  
• Field value: ####
  

something is wrong and i think its the formula but dont know for sure.
I would love any help.

Hello.

Parameters can't be used in field formulas.

An alternative could be to create a block with attributes to hold various values.
Then, inside mtext, the value of an attribute can be inserted as a field.

When there is another value needed, the block should be selected and the attribute value updated as required.
