Dynamic Block Loop Tables

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me whether the lookup table associated with a lookup action
in a dynamic block definition is accessable from VBA or .NET API's?

I would like to be able to populate the lookup table with data from a
database or spreadsheet in Code.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes you can get access, but only the information that is already in the table during the creation of the block.
You can get the data to this at run time or change the selected value

Hi Pat, Thanks for the repsonse!

Is it possible to add new rows to that lookup table at runtime in VBA or .Net and if so, could ou give me a few lines of code to get me started.

Thnaks in advance!

Dynamic blocks are created in the block editor and there is no API for this, so you can not add to the table.

I just release a addin yesterday that handles dynamic blocks and nested dynamic blocks allowing the user to select which row in the table table or visibilty they desire or value they type in.

Go ahead and download from

once installed type blockedit at the command prompt

this should give you an idea of how dynamic blocks work.
