how to globally change all instances of the visibility state of a dynamic block

[tim.101799]

I was recently asked to modify our standard room tag and add an additional line for misc information. Currently our room tage has two lines of text for the room name, a 3rd line below those two for the room number which has an adjustable rectangle around it. This new line of text will be a forth line below the room number for things like room square footage or room size (10'x15'). However the users only want to see this new misc line text / attribute during the SD & DD phases. Once we move to CD's that information is no longer needed and just takes up precious space on the drawings. I can easily create a visibility state in the block to turn off that information. But as far as I know the user would have to change the visibility state of every instance of that block in CAD file individually. Is there any way through dynamic blocks you can change the visibility state for all instances of a block at once?

I guess I could just put that additional line of information on it's own layer. But I really hate embedding layers into annotation blocks.

or you can simply select them using a crossing box (right to left). Then use the Prop windows as Chris suggested.
