The way you describe this, it almost sounds like your drawings and parts lists aren't part of a text flow, but inserted directly onto pages. Is that what you're doing? Or is everything in the main text flow, but you're using custom master pages? In any case, the simplest solution is probably to forget about conditions and set up multiple books instead, one for each brand. You can do this very quickly using File > Save Book As. All four books would be identical except for the 2-page chapter with the parts list and drawing -- there'd be four of those. (I'm assuming the same generated TOC, LOF, etc., will work in all 4 books, which should be true if all 4 brand-specific files have the same heading(s), e.g., "Parts List," not "Acme Parts List.") You originally said: > decal placement.

If the books are identical except for one file, and that file is always 2 pages in each book, then pagination will always be the same in all 4, and updating one book updates them all. HTH!
