As the title indicates; I insert a dynamic block (Mechanical 2012) that works fine in the try block window, and it loses its visibility functions. Alos it insert where it wants to and not where i have directed it to. Please advise, Thanks.

Post the block please...

When you insert the Dyn Blk high-lite it and Zoom out.
Do you now see the Dynamic Functions?
If so a couple of trips trough WBLOCK has been known to sort this.

Mr. Charles Sir, you have helped me in the past with this next issue. What am I doing wrong? I wish to be able toedit each Visiblity state's Attributes when its own state is visible. For some reason it works when first create the block and insert but it will not the second time or the second time I attemp to edit, or the sencond time I change the Visibility state. When I use the BATTMGR and select sync the display will show the values until I select OK, then the values go blank again. Please review the Block file and advise? Thanks.

You have several attributes in your block that have the same TAG property; while I can't guarantee this is the problem, doing so has historically caused all kinds of problems with blocks. I suggest renaming so that each attribute in the block has a unique TAG.

(Edit to add: even if they aren't visible at the same time, it's still been known to cause issues.)

StDoodle is correct and I can guarantee that NOT having unique Tags for Attribs WILL be an issue.
Change those up and see if that fixes your block.

Thanks you two, That was the ticket. Time consuming to change each one, but effective.
