I'll see what I've got this afternoon or tomorrow morning and go from there.  I'm on a different rush job right now.

These blocks look simple enough to combine into one dynamic block. 8-)

I would recommend against this if you were going to extract the information to either a table or excel.  Dumb blocks with attributes worked very simple for this and subsequent adding of additional attributes.  Sometimes the KISS method is the better option. 

Currently I have a project for the fire alarm devices for a hospital.  They need only one attribute visible but I have 6 attributes set to invisible.  The client kept changing his mind on what information was needed based on who was going to be using the document.  This is a very key point or points.  You need to find who is going to use this doc and what information they need from it.  The client has 4 different departments that uses my document and the resulting excel file.  Simple blocks made easy to update file for this two year and counting project.

Also tables worked great for me when Space was tight on a floor plan.

I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

I no longer CAD or Model, I just hang out here picking up the empties beer cans

The first Page I posted is from the CORP library with 500 to 1000 blocks, Linetypes
Electrical, Arch, Civil, Etc.......
The A/E/C CAD Standard Release 4.0 folder has a pdf with all the blocks and description. The blocks are in the symbols folder, you have to drill down in the General Dowmloads to find it    https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/CAD


Also they have a standard detail library where you drag and drop into AutoCAD https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/default.aspx?p=s&t=13&i=17

I use to get security errors there is something wrong with the certificate you have to download it.
I would upload it but it is too many megabytes


I can upload it to skydrive if anyone wants me to.
