Best way of creating a block/dynamic block for many variables/attributes

Hi,

 

i'm trying many different approaches on creating the best block or dynamic block to represent something like i attached.

I have many other combinations (it would end up with more than 3000 combinations) of colors and shapes and wheels and doors and so on.

 

i then have an excel file that looks like:

id | x  | y  | color | wheel  |  doors | ...
--------------------------------------------------
1  | 14 | 15 | blue  | square |   wide | ...
2  | 12 | 13 | red   |  round |  tiny  | ...

 

I can import this excel file putting all the informations as block attributes.

Is there a way to avoid creating many different (3000) blocks?

 

I tried with visibility states and lookup tables but i would need to create all the 3000 combinations manually...

 

I tried with visibility-add-eng but i have autocad 2015 and can't use it, and i'm not sure if it would be a good idea for the future...

 

What do You think? any ideas?

thanks in advance
