Adding a Visibility Element

Use the CBElement command with the Visibility option to add a visibility element to a CustomBlock definition.

Note: A CustomBlock definition can contain only one visibility element.

To add a visibility element:

  1. Type CBElement at the command prompt.
  2. Specify the Visibility option.
  3. Optionally, specify the properties:
    • Name
    • Label
    • Description
    • Palette

    You can always modify the element properties in the Properties palette.

  4. In the graphics area, specify the element position in the CustomBlock definition. This determines the position of the element grip point in the Block reference.
  5. Specify the number of grip points.
    • 0. No grip points.
    • 1. One grip point at the element position.

    The tools for defining visibility states are enabled.
