Seath Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have a series of logos that we use. I would like to have them setup in a dynamic type block that would allow us to select the block and choose from a pull down that logo to use. I have see it done before just don't know how to replicate it. As you scrolled through the choices as each one was highlighted it would display that one on the screen. Any help would be great thanks!

MSasu Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think the best solution is to create a dedicated pallete and add those blocks in it by drag-and-drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The feature you are looking for is called Visibility State. It is similar to having visible/invisible layers within blocks... in your case, you would have all your logos inside one block, and assign a different visibility state to each. One disadvantage to Dynamic Blocks is unless you explode them, if you deliver dwg files to the client, you're giving them all the content/logos contained with the blocks, not just the content that's used in the drawing. I'd be more than happy to assist you with Visibiltiy states, but especially for a logo, I agree with the two posts above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few other objects I would like to do this with as well that it would not matter if the client received the blocks. If you wouldn't mind I would love some help setting up the visibility state! I was looking at it but was unsure exactly how it functioned.

nestly Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I found a video on youtube that should help. It video covers a lot of material but Visibility states are covered from 2 to 4 minute into the video, then demonstrated in the drawing around 9 minutes. If you have any more specific questions, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
