Topic: Lisp Reading Attributes from a Dynamic block to MLeader

[3arizona]

I found this lisp by Lee Mac, from back in 2014.
 
Lisp work perfect. The only issue is, that i have 2 attributes inside my dynamic block and want lisp to read current viability state attribute. Hope this is possible.

Thank you for your time.

I was almost going to have a crack at this, but barely ran out of time. I would have had to create a "dummy block" which I just wasn't into doing.

I see you're already familiar with Lee Macs routines. On his site he also has a "get dynamic block property value" function:

http://www.lee-mac.com/dynamicblockfunctions.html#getdynamicpropvalue

By viability state you mean visibility state right? I've done something similar before and it worked.

Sorry I'm not of much tangible help. Just thought I'd send some encouragement and let you know that your concept is feasible.

[Lee Mac]

I have 2 attributes inside my dynamic block and want lisp to read current viability state attribute.

Could you clarify what you mean by this?

Do you want the program to display the current Visibility State name in addition to the value of two other attributes?

Sorry, i uploaded the wrong lisp. I have updated it to match my request.

My Dynamic block has two Viability States "State-1" and "State-2".
Each attribute reads current content with a filed reading the length of the fastener if stretched.   If possible i want mleader to read current attribute and update if i switch visibility states.

example attribute:
State1: #12 - 3/4" HWH-SD-TEK
State2: #12 - 3/4" HWH-SD-TEK w/NEO


At the moment it's working but it reads both attributes

Thanks
