Hi Everyone-

I have a staff member that is having trouble accessing the lookup values on a dynamic block. I have been trying to find a system variable that controls their display with no luck at all. If I open the same drawing and select the dynamic block all of the options will display properly. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure that the Right Click customization is turned on on that user's PC. Lookups and Vis states will not work properly if it is not. Also, bear in mind that you can always modify the DB using the properties window - even if it is a bit bulkier. See the attached pic and also check out the Dynamic Block Forum. We've got lots of help there.

Hey Rico, I've seen this a few times here on the forums; have you added this to Tips and Tricks yet?

Hi Manuel

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118) forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike
