Guys,
Please check out what am I doing with my vis states to see if I have gone way overboard or if this is the way you guys do it too.
Is there a better way? Am I doing something wrong? Is 2007 any better?
Thanks,
Will

Lookup 1 Lookup2 Lookup3

3 mullion 90 degrees 3 mullion
Vis state would be:
1m-45-1m
1m-45-2m
1m-45-3m
1m-60-1m
1m-60-2m
1m-60-3m
1m-90-1m
1m-90-2m
1m-60-3m
2m-45-1m
2m-45-2m....etc.
It continues all the way down. Then you have to show and hide each lookup during its coresponding vis state. Very time consuming.
Is this clear?
Chad, check out the FIXTURE here, i believe i used vis states in the lookup....Originally Posted by Chad_C

time consuming is right! i've done some like that, but not as complicated. have you done anything with referencing other lookups in the lookup? i haven't been able to wrap my mind around that one yet.Originally Posted by whdjr
if you need a block that does that, then i don't see another option. i haven't upped to 2007 yet myself, so i don't know. i will soon tho.

i hadnt seen that one. nice stuff there too =)Originally Posted by Chris.N
No I haven't figured that one out yet. I tried to use the bolt in the AutoCad sample drawings to study but it's pretty illusive.Originally Posted by Chris.N
OK what whjdr did with this dynamic block is what I was trying to do with the weld symbol. By the way I seen the one that comes with Autocad and it doesn't have any leader options (tail, field weld, all around weld) and that is what I'm trying to add. 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?

Ok, I'll try. If you'll notice the vis states are setup to show each scenario.Originally Posted by tiffany.amorgan
The lookups allow for 0 or 1 mullion on the left side, 0 or 1 mullion on the right side, and insulated or non-insulated glass. Otherwise 0m or 1m, 0m or 1m, or IG or NIG.
0m-0m-ig
0m-0m-nig
0m-1m-ig
0m-1m-nig
1m-0m-ig
1m-0m-nig
1m-1m-ig
1m-1m-nig
There are 8 possible combinations. You have to put 8 lookups at each lookup position and then either hide or show the lookups and the drawing data to produce the desired look.
Simple right? Not really but that's the jist of it.
Hope that helps,
