Hi
I attach a block with attributes and other parameters - is there a way I can link a layer depending to the drop down menu I select within the block? For example the block has 4 drop down chooses, Existing, new, reloc & remove, I would like these 4 chooses to be linked to 4 different layers and colours i.e if I choose 'new' from the block it then places it on a layer called new equipment within the layers palette.
many thanks
You can apply layer properties "By Block",so that after inserting block you can change its layer properties like colour.
Hi,
I think it is good practice to put all entities in a block on layer 0 (zero) so i don't recommend this but...
You can put the objects in the block on specific layers. In your example, put the objects for the "New" choice/visibility on layer "New" with color BYLAYER... The caveat here is that you may have a duplication of objects if one object is to appear in two or more visibiity states. But this should work.

Create a bock copies such that they are overlapped with different layers/colour and specify visibility states respectively. So that after clicking on drop down list you will get different states(with different layer properties).
