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 :: Visibility Parameters Containing Attributes Within Dynamic Blocks
Aug 22, 2007Is it possible for a dynamic block to have one attribute which is set to different visibility parameters; eg. i have a block made for a Setting Out Point. I wish to have 4 different locations that the user can place the attribute after insertion of the block ie top, bottom, left, right, of the SOP.

Oct 28, 2013I'm new to dynamic blocks. In my first attempt to create a simple dynamic block with various visibility states in which each would have it's own attribute, the only attribute that works is the attribute in the first visibility state listed. I have read all the postings I could find here in the group on this subject and have made the following changes suggested here to the block:
1. All attributes have distinct tags and prompts. (I even erased all the originial attributes and created new with original tags.)
2. All attributes are locked in position.
3. I REGEN after selecting a different visibility state.
None of these changes has had any effect. Still, then only attribute that opens an attribute edit dialogue box is the "W" attribute in the first visibility state listed.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Moving Dynamic Block With Attributes
Dec 19, 2011I made a dynamic block with attributes. The block was to be moved using Linear parameter + move action, and then a lookup parameter and action.
The block moves as it is suppose to but the attributes are left behind. How can I get the attributes to move with the dynamic block?
The attribute properties are:
Verify = Yes.
Lock position: Yes or No don't seem to make a difference.
Is this a bug in AutoCAD or is there a solution to this?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Block With Dynamic Attributes
Apr 26, 2007I have dynamic block with visibility states and Lookups. I tried to add attribute (field with block reference property) which suppose to be updated according to Lookup. But it didn't happen Attribute still the same as first lookup props, but if I insert the block(pic1) and select another properties from the list (pic2-3), when open and close the block editor(4) - everything is ok. Is it possible to solve this problem?

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?

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.

Nov 20, 2012I am using AutoCAD 2012 LT but also have a AutoCAD 2013 (network) license available to use.
I am having a problem with my dynamic blocks. I created a set for access control and used them in several other details such as door layout and panel wiring ect. but if I try to combine a drawing with multiple tabs to show a Door detail and the panel wirirng the Dynamic block goes back to the default or original visibility state.
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.
I also attached the original Dynamic block.

AutoCAD .NET :: Explode Dynamic Block With Visibility States
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 LT :: 2013 Dynamic Block - Visibility States

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Exploding Block With Visibility State
Aug 8, 2012Here at the company I work for, we have different drawing templates for certain clients. The templates share quite a bit of information with only a few differences. I combined them into one dynamic block with different visibility states for each template. But when we get ready to use a particular template, the block will need to be exploded to use all the information available.
My question is what happens to the objects not on the current visibility state when exploded? It seems to just disappear. Does the exploding essentially delete all objects not visible?
AutoCAD .NET :: Update Dynamic Block Visibility States And Values?
Sep 21, 2012I want to be able to update a dynamic block with data from our SQL Server database using a VB.NET program.
The dynamic block is configured to show office locations and has the associated office addresses for each office location embedded within the block. However, over time, offices close, new offices are added, addresses change, and so on. Plus, we have a dynamic block in each sheet size for several template types. So, updating them remotely would be a huge advantage. I'd like to just click a button, and know that the offices in the blocks were up to date and accurate.
Currently, I can use VLISP and the DBX technology to open each file and change the addresses. But, I cannot figure out how to change the visibility state (office name) in the prompt list. Anyhow, I want to drive the changes from a VB external application rather than having to open AutoCAD and run a LISP routine. So...
how to modify the following properties of a dynamic block using VB.NET?
1. The visibility states prompt list. (add, delete, modify)
2. The associated values. (add, delete, modify)
