    Check your attachments to find the post where that block is attached.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Does this narrow it down?

The quick explanation that was given on how he did what he did I don't understand. I'm using LT does that hinder some of my capabilities with DB?
    The only hindrance (sp??) is that you can't create or Edit DBs (I think) but I know you can still use them, provided it's a 2006 version of LT or higher. Otherwise you're SOL.

    I think i remember someone saying that in 2008LT you can create and edit DB's... I don't know for sure myself tho...

    I can create and edit blocks in AutoCAD LT 2007, a little FYI.

    Check out this way to do multiple viz states I have posted. Goofing around and ended up using a scale parameter. Drew a symbol at 1/4" high then did the scale parameter with a LIST. The list has two values the .25 drawn at and .0025. When that value is chosen it is only two thousandths of an inch tall which is less than the line width it is associated with so when you plot you don't see it. If you want to display you grab the grip and drag it out and visibility. Don't want to see it push it back to the tiny size and gone. I made a weld symbol with 5 different symbols all together. Now I just pick which type of weld it is and drag out the symbol. I labeled them with no plot text so you know which one you are picking. I am guessing I have a total with combinations of 40 or 50 viz states and yet there is no AutoCAD visibility state parameter in the drawing. Another dumb idea that turned out to be genius according to co-workers. They are cracking up and loving it, it is so simple and easy to do.
