Dynamic Block Lookup

[Anonymous]

Hello all... I have been an AutoCAD user for a LONG LONG time.  They dynamic blocks actually recently came into play in my world.  I have been creating libraries and modifying existing libraries.  I have learned MUCH by modifying and taking what I have learned to creating.  That being said, I have yet to figure out HOW exactly to CREATE an effective LOOKUP table.  It's been Extremely frustrating and the info I have found either in HELP, my AUTOCAD BIBLE or online has not given me what I need.

So the thing I am trying to do right now (and maybe I can't) is add an "on/off" switch to my dynamic block that already has visibility parameters defined.  It is a VERY simple block of gasket choice descriptions.  I want to be able to turn on and off the line that says "rib width" in each visibility state.  The line is at different locations due to number of lines of text per description.

I know there is probably a VERY easy solution for this.  I am just not finding it.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Attached is a DWG with the dynamic block inside for reference.

hi!

may be you can little bit research both blocks and then ask what is not clear for you

in 1st block I add lookup table for each visibility and switching to OFF block scaling text to very small object

in 2nd block it do the same but it do that by flip action and double lookup

ohhhhhh.. see I DID review them, but I wasn't clear on that.  You did the lookup on visibility.. so it's STILL there just tiny!  RIGHT ON!  I wish the books, help and online had more interactive information.  Thank you so much!
