Block Definition showing different entities on different layers

I have the need to create a Block which displays some content in one viewport and different content in another.

For example I have 600x600mm light fittings in plan view one one drawing detailing their size and location and on another drawing I need just a simple point at the centre location which I will then dimension up.

Anyone think of a way to do this?

At present I have to place two blocks at the same location on different layers and configure the viewports to display the corresponding layers however if one block is move you have to remember to move the other.

can this be achieved with dynamic blocks? (I'm not sure that you can.)

I know I can create a Dynamic Block which enables me to set the visibility of entities but as far as I am aware this does not let you choose different visibility states for different viewports.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Why not create one block with all the entities within the block on the differing layers that you require. Then you can VPFREEZE the layers you don't wish to see in the relevant viewports.

I thought of that but the problem is I need to place these blocks on different layers and take on the properies of the layer.

Because of this I need certain entities on Layer 0 within the block and this is where my problem is.

If I have entities on Layer 0 then the layer the block is sat on needs freezing to hide those entities but that completely hides the block and thus the 'other' entities I want visible

In that case, you will be restricted to using 2 blocks

In that case, you will be restricted to using 2 blocks

I thought that would be the case.
