jamami Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM 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 ? Quote
BIGAL Posted Tuesday at 11:42 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:42 PM 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. Quote
jamami Posted 17 hours ago Author Posted 17 hours ago Looks interesting but Does this still require manually inputting 309 lines of data in 3 tables , each with multiple columns ! Quote
jamami Posted 16 hours ago Author Posted 16 hours ago If it does require manual input I suspect the default tableay be the quicker method as fairly easy to type and tab down Quote
BIGAL Posted 3 minutes ago Posted 3 minutes ago I think we are struggling to see what you want, if you type 1-2-3 as entry its easy to split it apart based on the "-" into 3 variables . Maybe make a movie if you don't want to post the block. Quote
