More than 2 Visibility Parameters (Bridge/Libbya Method)

Anonymous
Not applicable

Ultimate Goal: Weld symbol with at least 4 visibility parameters/categories/drop-downs. (I have studied various examples out there, but first I need to understand the basics before looking at the very busy end product)

 

After studying Libbya's 'bridge' method, I successfully created a block with two drop-downs. (See 'beam_steel' block in attached file)

When I try to  create a block with 4 drop-downs, I conceptually get stuck on the fact that the method used X and Y positions. That makes sense because it was two variables for two drop-downs.

 

Please help me understand how I would approach my requirements using a similar method, for 4 drop-downs.

Note: I am not interested in the outdated 'vis_eng.lsp', or scaling.

 

I started a simplified version of a 4 drop-down block (see 'mult_vis_4' block in attached file) to provide us with a working file.

 Thanks in advance!

You need an input for each selection lookup you want to have.  Each point parameter gives 2 inputs as it allows the use of X or Y independently.  If you plan on using 4 selections, then you will need two point parameters in order to have 4 inputs (Position1 X, Position1 Y, Position2 X, and Position2 Y).

I think your videos have absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
