I don't find any option for visibility state there. Could you post a screen shot jpg file or very simple block example

What @ojuris meant was to use a block properties table (BTABLE command).

You need to check the little box that forces the block to match a row of the table. You will need to make sure the as drawn state of the block does match a row for it to work.

you can add visibility states in Lookup actions or in Block properties table but not in both
