Some times it is the littlest things that trip us up.

You're welcomed.

Hello John,

You find my misstake!
I changed only the X and Y scale and not the Z.

thank you again!

Well that is an option too.

When you went through the Properties palette did you change all three scales (X, Y, and Z) or just X and Y?

So you can scale the block after all just not by using the Properties palette.

Well I just tested your block using AutoCAD 2015 and changing the X, Y and Z scales in the Properties palette to .5 and I did not lose the drop-down list.  You must have done something unusual.

Of course!
Here is the block.
block.dwg


If I change the scale on the properties panel (Ctrl + 1) I lose the drop-down list.
But If I use the "Scale" command then I will have drop-down menu after the scaling as well.

It would help if we had a copy of the block to play with.

Hello guys!

I have a block with 6 visibility which I can change easyli with the drop-down list.
It works well.
But if I change the scale of the block it lose the drop-down list.
In the block editor I can see the 6 different states but no drop-down list in the model space.
Why?

Could you help me?
Do you have any ideas?

thank you for the answer!
