Help with Lookup or multiple Visibility

Hi I have been looking at other posts, but missing something.  There are a few things going on with this block.  Definitely a novice when it comes to dynamic blocks.  Never used lookup since I never understood them.  Seems pretty straight forward after watching a video, but can't seem to get this one to work.

 

There is a Scale Bar that has multiple scales so I used Visibility to get that.

There is a distance so we can stretch the Scale bar to fit our different size sheets.  However a Lookup would be more beneficial, but I can't seem to get it to work.

There is a north arrow that I can rotate, but looking to toggle the north arrow on and off (since we may or may not use it depending on the situation).

 

The dwg is attached.  

These are the values I am looking for to do the stretch

This is the north arrow to be toggled on or off.

Would love some input and appreciate any help.

After re-reading this comments I see what is going on I believe.  It was the comment directly above.  I am going to keep this imperial one simple and not add the move Actions.  If needed, it will need to be added.

You can relax, your imperial block is OK. You don't need the move actions. 

In the metric block they were necessary to move the markers in some cases (1:75, 1:50 and 1:250). Without moving the markers you would have had to label the ruler as follows:

1:75        75   100   300

1:150    150  300  600

1:250    250  500 1000

 

But you decided on the following label (I don't know why):

1:75      100  200  300

1:150    200  400  600

1:250    200  400 1000

 

As a result of this decision the markers also had to be moved to the correct place. In your imperial block all labels in all scales match the one given position of the markers, no movement necessary.  

 

I hope I could explain the background understandable.

Yes that makes sense.  I appreciate you taking the time to look that block over.  Very excited to have been able to reproduce the block and its actions.

I am having issues with 1:70, 1:50, 1:250 and the ticks not moving to the correct position and I am not sure what to change to make it work.  Can someone let me know how to update the block so the ticks move correctly?  I know those are odd scales, but they seem to want to keep those numbers.

@kzD1219 You've got the move actions associated with the wrong lines. See the image below. Swap the end line to Move3 and the line before it to Move2
