Attribute reactors

[LLAW3224]

Is there a way to create a reactor that responds when attribute text is inputed. For example I have a block with multiple layers and I want it to thaw the appropriate layer according to what is inputed. If I input sp I want the speaker layer to thaw and if I input pd I want the plasma layer to thaw and keep the rest of the layers frozen. Is this possible through reactors?

Why use an attribute value to control this? I'm sure you have a reason, but this sure seems a convoluted way to perform layer control.

Is there a way . . .
If You have a lisp program, say "pd" or "sp" and when You run it it ask You to select a legal block
then it puts the pd or sp text into a appropriate attribute and thaw the plasma or speaker layer.

Is that a substitute for a reactor ? or do You have a lot of components ?

: ) Happy Computing !

Actually, I think Kennet and I missed the forest for the trees. If you have multiple blocks in AutoCAD 2005 or earlier, then no, you cannot individually control the display of a layer within the block on a per-insertion basis. With AutoCAD's 2006 DBlocks, you can control each insertion's visibility using the Visibility parameter.

Yeah I was trying to create something like the dblocks. We still are working on 2005 :cry:. Thank you.
