Flip state to base state

[DanMiddleton]

Is there a way to change the flip state back to base state, when you select a different visibility state?  

I have set up a dynamic block for welding and I would like the flip state to show the arrow side of the weld or other side of the weld.

I am using AutoCAD LT 2020

Sounds like you need to include the flip parameter in all the visibility states

@steven-g , it is turned on for all visibility states.  I guess I should explain a little further.

I have a block to insert welding information, it contains 4 visibility states:

1. Left_side_Field_fillet
2. Left_side_fillet
3. Right_side_field_fillet
4. Right_side_fillet

I insert the block and it is defaulted to Left_side_Field_fillet.  If I want the weld information to show the weld on the other side of the arrow, I change the flip state.   Now lets say I want to change to a different visibility state, I would like the flip state to go back to "default" non-flipped state.  I can possibly post a screen cast if it makes it easier to understand.

Don't bother with a screencast.  Instead post the FILE.

Here's a workaround to create LOOKUP default parameter combinations, allowing in the meanwhile chaging/overriding param values individually. Everytime you choose a different LOOKUP value, the block returns to it's predifined default param states.

1. Insert FLIP and VISIBILITY parameter sets and set them up at your convenience.
2. Insert a LOOKUP parameter set.
3. Right click on the "Lookup1"  table icon grip and select "Display lookup table".
4. Click on the "Add Properties" button and select the previoysly created "Flip State 1" and "Visibility1" params.
5. On the "Lookup1" right column, create as many states combinations as you need.
6. Assign the desired params value combinations for each Lookup State on the left column.

That explanation is much clearer 😀

The only way I can think of to achieve that is to use a 'trick' double lookups attached is a simple example so whenever you select a different visibility state the flip will return to the base state.
