Specify Value Sets for Dynamic Blocks
A value set is a range or list of values specified for a parameter. These values
can be displayed for the block reference as a drop-down list next to the
parameter label under Custom in the Properties palette. When you define a
value set for a parameter, the parameter is limited to these values when the
block reference is manipulated in a drawing. For example, if you define a linear
parameter in a block that represents a window to have a value set of 20, 40,
and 60, the window can only be stretched to 20, 40, or 60 units.
When you create a value list for a parameter, the value of the parameter as it
exists in the definition is automatically added to the value set. This is the
default value for the block reference when you insert it in a drawing.
NOTE If you redefine the values in a value set after you've added the parameter
properties to a lookup table, make sure to update the lookup table to match the
new values in the value set.
