Set Visibility State based on rotation using Block Properties Table

Anonymous

I'm trying to create a detail call out for my drawings. Essentially a circle with an attribute tag in one of the 4 quadrants around the circle. I've created 4 visibility states for each of the 4 quadrants (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4). The "Quadrant" rotation parameter should change the visibility state the block is in using the Block Property Table. The attribute only appears in one of the four quadrants and doesn't change visibility states. 

 

I've seen several similar applications using a stretch parameter to create multiple rows or attributes, but I can't seem to get the rotation parameter to control the visibility state. Is there something I'm overlooking? 

 

I've attached the block "detail tag" I'm working on and a sample I've based this application on "Hardware Dynamic Schedule NEW". Any help getting this to work I'd appreciate.

Hopefully you can translate this ;D

 

You brake your own rules and this is the problem!

The standard configuration of your block "Detail Callout" is:

Quadrant: 270

 and

Visibility1: Circle Q1

 

thats against your own rule in your blocktable! (this combination isn't listed there and that why you can see the yellow sign with the black "!")

make sure the standard configuration of your block is listed in your blocktable,

but plase: Do don'tadd another combination, set one of the wanted combination current!

For example: Current Quadrant 270 and Current Visibility state 'Circle Q2"

 

Then it should work.

The exclamation mark denotes an error on the table.  Using audit on the table tells you what the error is, in this case your as-drawn parameters do not match a row on the table.  When there is an error on the table, the table loses all functionality.  

 

In the screencast I change the base angle for the Quadrant rotation parameter to 180 so it matches the current visibility state Circle Q1.  The exclamation mark disappears and the block properties table functions.
