Send that Visit Visa immediately to your family in your home country after it is attested from Saudi chamber of commerce.

The status of visa in MOFA will change after visit visa has been stamped on the passport/s of your family.

Please reply me for family visit visa after Chember of commerce attested
I inquire about my family visit visa status  in MOFA that it's show    demand under the measure   what is actually it means ?can explain me any body

It probably means that the case is under review.  If it is approved then the top right of the display (when you do inquiry) will change and show a visa document number (when you see this, you can do inquiry on website with visa document # instead of application #).    This is when you can print it and send it to your home country.

On a side note, there is a change in the process.  The visa status does not change even when passports are stamped with the visa.  This happened with my family during this month when the visa was stamped, they entered, got a border number and updated Muqeem/Tawakkalna.  On MOFA site, the same visa document and number is being shown till today.  They have consolidated that part into Enjazit, Absher and Muqeem.

@roogisalar Hi, It seems there is delay in the visa approval process by Mofa. I always got the visa in 3 days. However, now it has been over 10 days since the application was authenticated by the chamber of commerce and it is still pending approval. Does anyone know the reason of the delay??

My gut feel, Ramadan.  Everything slows down :).
