I have no idea by what mechanism this is possible - maybe via on/off records - but we need a way for symbols to have different states or geometry that we can turn on and off.
Right now we are doing an ADA check - and we need to have a different symbol for each door + approach use case. We have 6 basic door types and there are 6 approach conditions - so now we need to make 36 symbols. It would be great if we could make 6 symbols, then embed the different conditions, then on an instance by instance basis, turn on the conditions we want to see. (I would love if this was built into the door tool - but this would be helpful in general.) I am thinking it could be done via a record format. Just like text can be linked to a record, geometry should be able to be linked to an on/off switch.
