I am updating a dynamic block using dummy parameters to achieve multiple visibility states, I have got it working at 2m and 3m by manually inputting data but I need to go to 40m and there are 9 visibility states for for each length.

I can generate the data in Excel and ideally I want to cut paste this into the property lookup table but this is not possible.

I can cut paste into a block property table but not a lookup table and adding 300+ lines manually in 3 separate tables is not practical.

 

The attached image shows one table completed for 2 and 3m lengths.

Can this data be scripted ?

I don;t think you need Excel. You can match a dcl to a dynamic block so you can enter values and then in turn update the block. It is something I have insert block and the dcl is displayed, its global code so works with any dynamic block. Need a dwg with your block and can test.

Looks interesting but Does this still require manually inputting 309 lines of data in 3 tables , each with multiple columns !

If it does require manual input I suspect  the default tableay be the quicker method as fairly easy to type and tab down
