    Cool Dyamic Blocks & Attribute Visibility

    Hi there,
    I am having this trouble with visibility of attributes attached to a block. The scenario is this; i have a CAD block symbol and it has two Attribute tags attached to it. One is changeable (attrib2) and ones a constant (attrib1). I add a visibility control to the block to control the two attributes and when they must display.

    Opt1. Display attribute 1 only; Opt2. Display attribute 2 only; Opt3. Don't display any attributes. Note, the symbol is always displayed throughout the 3 options.

    My problem is; this all works fine if the changeable attribute has no value, just leave blank. But when something is typed in, it totally ignores the visibility control set to it when Opt3 is chosen. Is this a BUGG!!

    PLEASE HELP!!

    ALSO verify that you didn't just copy the attributes around and left them with the same names. Attributes won't behave at all if there's duplicate attribute names (tags)
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    Thanks for that Chris. Golden Rule never copy your attributes.
    I can stop pulling my hair out now.
