Conversion factor for Block Y position

[3dwannab]

See attached the block where we use mm as our units. I would like the Y postion of the block to be in meters.

 

The conversion field is greyed out. Is it possible to do this? Attached a sample drawing also.

Sort of a solution found found below but if I do an attsync name * all the value is lost.

Fixed. I drew a circle inside the block on a no plot layer and used the center prop and the Y and used the formula as per above.

 

See attached.

Was there ever an answer to this?  I set the conversion factor for one cell in my table and it worked as desired.  Now the conversion factor is greyed out for all additional cells.  I cannot copy and paste the cells as when I go to update the field to the block whose centre I would like the x and y positions from the cell updates and loses the conversion factor and the co-ordinate is shown to the wrong decimal places.  I have also tried creating a new table in a new drawing sheet, run an audit and a restart.  I am all out of ideas, but believe this to be a bug of some sort.

@Draughter83this seems an entirely different problem. You might want to create a new thread.
