Oct 17, 2013I'm trying to create a dynamic block that uses a parameter and an attribute definition to determine the diameter of a circle in that block.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the parameters to read to attribute definition and adjust the circle diameter. Using AutoCAD 2013

Dec 17, 2012What I'm trying to do is have a graphic scale with a set list of scales the user can pick from. This was easy using the Visibility Parameter.
However, I want to add a "custom" vis state where, once they select this option, the attributed definition box will pop up and give them the option to input whatever scale they are using.Check out the attached .dwg to see what I've done so far (I just have the attributes on the "custom" vis state).
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Link Move Action To Visibility Parameter
Sep 12, 2012I've got a block with 2 lines of text, the second line being optional. If the second line is omitted, the first line should be moved down, so it's centered.
I can handle the second line being omitted with a visibility parameter. And I can handle the first line being moved down with a move parameter. But how can I link the two?
Ideally, I'd be able to re-use the line 1 attribute and display it in whichever place was correct, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Containing Visibility Parameter?
Aug 1, 2013I have this block (see attachment) with three attributes and a visibility parameter that I want to hide one, two or all attributes. It works well while I'm in the block editor but it will not work properly when used in the drawing. The option of "Point only" does not hide all attributes of some reason.

Jun 1, 2012I am trying to have my block with different visibility options but i don't want a long list to choose from under one parameter. If I did what I am wanting to in one visibility it would be a very long list of different combination options. The list would have 16 different options. Is there a way to have multiple visibility parameters?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Visibility
Jun 17, 2011Is there a way to have one of the items in your visibility selection be an attribute that only brings up the attribute editor box when you select it? Right now I have a block with several different angle iron sizes that can be selected and I want one of them to be "Special" so a size that isn't in the list can be typed in if needed.
With ATTDIA set to 1 the editor box pops up every time it's inserted but nothing can be edited. Can I get that to go away yet still keep ATTDIA set to 1?
Revit :: How To Create No / Yes / Visibility Parameter For Title Block
Jun 27, 2012How to create a 'No/Yes' or visibility parameter for a title block? I have my Architectural Seal as an image inserted into my title block family. I want to have that as a parameter for visibility so I can have it turned off until I am ready to print for final building department submission filing.
If possible, this would be a global adjustment so I would operate this parameter once and will affect all the sheets in the project instead of having two title block families and swapping those out at the time of filing.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Visibility In Dynamic Block
Dec 13, 2013When I use visibility of dynamic block, I found it's a great feature. But when I have more objects involved in it there will be too many states.
If we have 'visibility action' beside 'visibility set' maybe it will make thing better, when use it with lookup table. Each visibility action can has it's own set of objects. Put actions in lookup table to hide and show the set combined with them.

AutoCAD LT :: Visibility In Dynamic Block Editor
Jul 5, 2013I'm having issues trying to use attribute definitions inside of a dynamic block. .I'm trying to create notes that are attached to differnet visibilty states of a dynamic block. I have multiple visibilty states that are have different attribute definitions placed on top of other definitons. The wanted attributes definitions apear to be visible in block editor but then when I test the block the wrong definitions appear. Is it because the defintions are on top of each other. Also all the definitions are in the same layer.

May 25, 2007Imagine you have 2 objects that you always use them as a combination(like bolt and nut) and each of them has different types. I made dynamic block for each one with a visibility list and put the variation of each in that visibility list and select the one that I need from the visibility list for each and then put them together.Because they always line-up in a specific point so if you can have a 1 dynamic block with 2 visibility list you can work easier.

I have attached Sample1 and sample2 if you try to copy from one of the drawigns to the other you will notice that the dynamic blocks will change.

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Rotation Parameter
Sep 30, 2013I am making a simple continuation block (attached) and I am trying to get it to have a rotation parameter along the polyline. I am able to do that, but the only issue is the flip parameter goes all weird when I do so (the text starts distancing itself from the polyline when stretched, rotated and flipped).

Oct 2, 2012I have a dynamic block with visibility states.When I use the method BlockReference.Explode(entities) I get in 'entities' all entities including all those who are part of the visibility states not selected. But I want only the entities in the selected visibility state.What surprises me more, is that entities from other states of visibility, although they were added to the current space, do not appear.
How to retrieve only entities associated with the selected visibility state?Or how can I identify entities that are not part of the state of visibility?
var entities = new DBObjectCollection();selectedBr.UpgradeOpen();selectedBr.Explode(entities);foreach (Entity entity in entities){ currentSpace. AppendEntity(entity); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(entity, true);}selectedBr.Erase();

AutoCad :: Create Dynamic Block With Several Different Visibility States
Jul 22, 2012I'm trying to create a dynamic block with several different visibility states and for each visibility state I have created an attribute. Each attribute has a different text style because I need the size of the text to change when I change the visibility state. But on the model space I can only see and edit te attribute in one of the visibility states. How to create a block that allows me to see different attributes in different visibility states or that alows me to change the text stryle of the attribute acording to the visibility state?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Visibility State For 3D Wireframe Dynamic Block
Dec 2, 2011I'm trying to create a dynamic block with visibility states for different wireframe sections, with objects (simple lines) in x,y & z planes.
The block represents a bay of scaffolding, which dynamically arrays in length in set bay sizes, but i want to add visibility for different height section arrangements (i.e number of scaffold lifts in 2m lift heights)
I have this working with the maximum section (16m high), and I hoped to be able set visibility states from for the sections 16m down to 6m by "make invisble" the upper scaffold lifts in reducing heights.
The block editor will only give me the plan (x,y) view to modify the dynamic elements. Is there a way to view left, right or even isometric in the block editor?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block - Visibility Sets Working
Oct 1, 2012I can't seem to get my visibility sets to work out. I just use the parameter set - visibility set. I create a few new visibility states such as rectangle and circle. When I switch between sets and make changes (such as deleting my circle and creating my rectangle) then switching back between visibility states, I am simply left with the rectangle on all my sets.
I seem to be missing something that "locks in" my visibility sets and leave the others unmodified. I played with the architectural-imperial block template that autocad has built in it, and their visibility sets work. But I can't recreate them inside that template.
AutoCad :: Attributes And Visibility States In Dynamic Block?
Dec 6, 2013In the past I have not managed to get attributes to constantly behave themselves if I applied a visibility state to them. Following posts by steven-g where he has a method to get them working together I thought I would give it another try. His method was used to link the attributes to a further reference attribute to reveal a field but mine is far simpler, just requiring one of two numbers to appear depending on the project state.
I had two attributes which toggled their visibility but only the primary attribute would display UNTIL AFTER I locked and prest the attributes, wherein it all looks to be working as wanted.
So my question is, why does it now work (and will it continue to do so)?
I don't know if I could get away with only one of those actions but since I had something working I didn't want to break it. I will test it once these drawings have cleared my desk.
AutoCad :: Dynamic Block Not Working When Using Visibility State
Apr 11, 2013I prefer using Visibility State to flip objects instead of actually using the Flip command! Simply because there are less grip points for the user when using this block. My problem is: when adjusting the physical properties of the block by using the dynamic features and then changing the visibility state (e.g. left to right), the block is no longer intact so all of the grip points will no longer alter the block accordingly.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Block Rotation Parameter
Jan 7, 2013I have a block that I'm trying to convert for dynamic use.
In the first image, you'll see the items that I want to have rotatable in blue. The items in red should NOT rotate. That part seems to work fine. But the items that do rotate don't behave as expected.
I created the rotate parameter selecting the center of the red circle as the base point. Shouldn't that cause ALL the items to rotate about that center point?
As you'll see from the second image, the blue line rotates about some other point.
EDIT: Well I guess it only does it if I have the blue horizontal line defined with a length constraint. I also need to have that line dynamic--I need to make it longer/shorter.
I've attached a dwg file with the block in it--it's at the top of the block list (___SectMark2).
