Creating a Field from a Visibility State
I have a dynamic block of various standard symbols. I would like to have some text associated with that block that will display the name of the current visibility state. I'm too lazy to type in the text and associate it with each visibility state, so I was hoping a field may be able to do it for me. Any ideas?

I don't think it's possible to link a field to a visibility state.Originally Posted by alistair.clark.34853
When I trieds to do that, I kept getting an error message saying that the block's reference had been deleted, but it's still there. I tried 3 or 4 other possibilities and was unsuccessful in getting the field to link to a vis state.
so i don't think it can be done ... yet .... or maybe I'm doing it wrong ....

Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

check this out. you have to use the 'blockplaceholder' option, and insert the field at the time of the attribute creation.....
i used my stair block from the sharing thread to count its own risers....

y'know what? I tried that exact same configuration and it yielded no results for me.
i'll have to go back and re-check everything. there was probably something simple I forgot to do ..... in any case ... I stand corrected. My apologies for getting it wrong.
It's halloween ... probably a result of the massive sugar rush i've been on since 8am .....

'exactly'???did you 'sync' it after? did you regen? did you check it to show up for all vis states? didjadidjadidja? (<-got my own sugar rush going)

One for them, one for me ... one for them, two for me ...
Maybe I just forgot to attsync it afterwards. and I know I didn't regen or purge the old values .... (*sigh*) .... where's the dunce hat? (*sulking towards corner*)

anyway, the quick tests get the best of us....
