trebhahn Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I am a new user to the forum, so Hello! We have a client whom insists on 1/8" text and my blocks are all sized for 3/32". What I wanted to do is create two visibility states for the block. One using the 1/8" text and one using the 3/32" and be able to switch between them. I can get the border of the tag to work, but the text doesn't switch sizes. Is this even possible? Is there a better way to deal with all my tags and needing to have two different versions of them? (Tags such as fixture tags, note tags, etc...) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I don't know about current releases but on 2008 attributes and visibility states did not work well (certainly not logically) together. I have never used the but can you use annotative attributes or a scale action on the block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpas Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi trebhann, You can create an attribut and choose a field in an other visibility state, select objet, choose your attibut value propertie. Or easier, I think, create an attribut and choose linear parameter and scale action. See example : Cadttutor - Attribute Text - Multiple sizes in Block HPA.dwg Bye Pascal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 ...or you could do it by assigning unique layers to the attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebhahn Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have never set up any of the parameter, action items since the firm I worked at previously had "people" that set up all tools. So this is all new to me. Very cool though. Thanks Pascal for posting your example, a dwg is worth a thousand words! I was able to go into it, see how the thing worked, and mimic it in my block. Works good, and will get the job done without having two sets of standard blocks for different clients.... Thanks Again Both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
