Xref's Layer Manager States |
|
|
Help! When I xreference a file, all of its Layer Manager States are imported. Since you can not highlight more than one state at a time to delete, it takes me a long time to individually select and delete each layer state. And the next time I open the drawing, I have to delete these same layer states again. My file's one or two layer states a lost in a list of 20 or more. I have searched the Help for some setting that will prevent these layer states coming with the the xreferenced file. Am I missing something? Read Ya Later -KLPH

AutoCAD 2004 and higher let you pick as many as you want.
A search on this drive instead of a post would have also revealed a nice
lisp floating around to tackle the task for you.
http://discussion.autodesk.com, select AutoCAD, then use the search box... .

Dean, so I made some searches. I tried "Layer Manager," "Layer Manager States," and "Deleting Layer Manager States." I have found out how to delete layers and how to insure the color of layers is saved, but have tired of reading about 50 topics so far, each with numerous replies. So, again, I repeat my question and ask does anyone out there know how to find the lisp Dean is referring too? Read Ya'll Later -KLYPH

are you talking about Layer Filters? If so I needed a Delete Layer Filter
routine yesterday and found it in about 30 seconds on Google/Groups using
"Delete-Layer-Filters" as a search criteria. Here it is:
(defun C:layerfiltererase ()
(vl-Load-Com)
(vl-Catch-All-Apply '(lambda ()
(vla-Remove
(vla-GetExtensionDictionary
(vla-Get-Layers
(vla-Get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-Get-Acad-Object)))) "ACAD_LAYERFILTERS")))
(princ "\nAll layer filters have been deleted.")
(princ)
)

| Dave, thanks for your reply. I used that Layer Filter Delete yesterday. No, I'm talking about the "LMAN" command found in Express Tools, Layers, Layer Manager. In it you can create a named list of layer settings. It is very good, but unfortunately, each individual will come up with numerous lists that are not applicable to my file. I am looking for a setting so that when I xreference a file, its many Layer Manager lists do NOT come with it. I end up with 30 lists, among which I must seach for those few which I have created for my particular file. Any ideas out there? Read Ya Later -KLYPH |

Can you kill them in the xref before you actually bring your xref in??

hmmm, OK. Once again a Google/Groups search for "delete-layer-states" took
about 10 seconds to come up with this...try Google/Groups search, you'll
like it :)
