Dynamic Block Visibility and Rotation Problem

I've created a dynamic block to show 4 types of electrical outlet symbols in one block; it also has a rotation action. The two actions (visibility and rotation) both seem to work fine if I use the rotation first. If I change the visibility state and THEN rotate, the rotation grip remains at the original location rather than following the rotation of the block, and some of the visible items will remain at the original location which makes the block useless. I've remade this a couple of times and can't figure out the issue. I am using AutoCAD 2020 with legacy menus (no ribbons or palettes) I am NOT versed at all in lisp and would rather have a step by step solution. Thanks.

Underneath the edit widow is a bar which reads "Drag and drop here or browse files to attach". just do what it says.

The problem was you had 4 rotate command imbedded in you block. I erased all but on and made it visible in all views.

Thank you! I'd put the rotation action in first to the 'full' block with all states visible, but after adding the visibility states the rotation only work on one view. I will keep practicing with making these blocks and eventually I'll get it.
