How Do the Linked Parameters in the Windrose Block Keep the "N" Vertical?
The block is attached below and it's actually on the Start Page in BricsCAD.
I cannot figure out how the "N" is staying vertical, while rotating around the compass rose. If anyone could ELI5, I would be very appreciative.

Hello.
There is a parametric move operation that controls the mtext entity, N.
Currently, it is hidden.
It can be displayed by using the PBLOCKOPERATIONSDISPLAY command.
The parametric move operation is linked, there is an infinity sign(∞) attached to the operation name in Parameters Manager.
The linked behavior is as in the article linked below.
Further, as mentioned in the drawing, the set of the rotation is selected in a way that includes the parametric move.
The operations are not grip selectable so it might be harder to notice they are selected.
A crossing window could be used to include the parametric move.Even further, the rotation will rotate the move vector and the N text will follow the tip of the vector.
N won't be rotated because it is not in the selection set of the rotate operation, only the operation (move vector) that controls it is.0
