Attribute Color Changed Dynamically

[ianwill93]

Well this seems to be an unanswered question in this forum's history,

Is it possible to change the assigned color of an attribute dynamically?

Like perhaps using a Visibility States?

To give some context, I am designing a game machine that has 2 different models that I will have within 1 DB.

One of the attributes inserted into the block needs to change color based off of the model in use.

From the tinkering i've done, I havent seen anyway of doing this...

I apologize if this has been answered before and I just missed it in my searches.

Thanks for any help provided!

Hi OJURIS, Can you explain how you created this TEXT entity with a field that points to BLOCK REFERENCE and in the Property list it shows the attribute tagged MODEL?

I can't even duplicate that using your drawing

1. Open your drawing
2. Go into the block editor
3. Copy the text entity that says COLOR
4. Go into text editor for new entity
5. Edit field shows this (note where it says Block Reference and MODEL)
6. 
7. Then delete the existing field and try to recreate
8. Right-click and Insert Field
9. Select Object from left side
10. Use Select object button, click on the MODEL attribute definition
11. The dialog shows Attribute Definition and you can pick Value if you scroll to the bottom of the list but that doesn't work at all
12. How do you get Block Reference as the Object type?
13. PS I'm using AutoCAD 2019

15. Thank you very much
