I didn't see a DB section so I'm posting here.

 

I've used ACAD a long time, but I'm new to making and using dynamic blocks. I want to make a DB with several editable attributes and I want to use visibility states. What I am noticing is that they don't seem to want to be invisible. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to do in 2009?

 

I have only tried one approach and have another idea that may pan out, but I would still like an answer. If my idea works I'll post it up.

What have you tried, perhaps you can provide a simplified example file we can help on?

it is possible, I know, I've done it - but I haven't worked out "how" they behave. There are some very odd things that happen but I can't remember what.

I think I figured it out. What I was doing was typing data into all of the attributes, so I could see them while working. Well DUH the attributes I will need for the particular sizes are the only ones that will get filled out in the real world.

 

This is only a beginning of what it will be at the end of the process, but dangit it's good to know I got it figured out for what I needed.
