Combined Visibility States in Dynamic Blocks

Anonymous
Not applicable

[Running AutoCAD 2015 on Win7]

 

Is it possible to give visibility states further "pop-out-menu" visibility state options? (i.e. when you hover over a visibility state option, a second pop-out-menu is available to pick further visibility states for that choice).

 

Where this is useful, is if you have a set of secondary variables (e.g. open/closed, on/off, hatch/no hatchetc.) that you want to be able to apply to all your primary visibility states (e.g. type, size, etc). This cleans up/ organizes the visibility states list, and means I don't have to create as many visibility states when building the block.

 

I don't know if this is done solely with visibility states, or if I need to incorporate lookup tables, block property tables, and the like (which I don't know very much about).

 

Just a note: "visibility-add-eng.lsp." is not what I'm looking for; I don't really want the user(s) to have to pick from different visibility menu icons all over the block.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

TBOMS

I was really hoping to see the screen cast that you created for this issue. I can't figure out how to change the value of the individule parameters.

I have been looking for this kind of help.

I am hoping that I don't have to scroll down through 5 door types, 7 door pull types and if there is a cam lock or not.

this will make my life so much easier!

Thanks

I have found that an increased number of existing screencasts makes adding new screencasts progressively slower.  To that end, I removed most of the past screencasts and do not have them any longer.  Post up your block and I'll see if I can help.

I have multiple blocks and it would be great if I could combine them into one!

 

 

I also have to add another verible to add, a cam lock. 

as for the side and the top i won't need to show the lock location.

 

 

I also have all of this for the upper cabinets (front, side, and top), tall cabinets (front, side and top), drawer fronts (etc.), and large drawers (same).

If I could do one for each upper, base, tall, drawer fronts, and large drawer fronts. that would be great!
