Dynamic Block Layers change

Anonymous

I created the attached dynamic block with flip and rotation. It's all good except layer switching.

I hope if I change the visibility to Existing, it would change the selected block to layer Fixture-E.

Similarly Demolish to layer Fixture-D, Relocate to Fixture-Reloc, New to Fixture-N.

These are not nested block in BEditor. In BE the entities are in specific layer, not Layer 0 since I wanted it drop in specific layer depending on the Visibility states.

Is there a way to change layer in Dynamic block control by the visibility states?

 

Thanks. Your advise is most appreciated.

I'm not certain it can be done (but dont take my word for it). Two work around options i can think of:

 

1. recreate the blocks individually and then nest them into the new block where you can control visibility. when you change it to the visibility you want then EXPLODE or BURST the block and the remaining block elements will be on the layer you wish.

 

2. Use a lisp that can select blocks by visibility state (like this though i have never used it so i cant vouch for it) and once you have selected by visibility state use the properties tab to move to your desired layer.
