AutoCAD 2010 :: Deleting Xref Dependent Layer That Has No Visible Features
Dec 1, 2011
When I insert a drawing from another source as a block into one my drawing - and then explode the block and change the exploded block layers to my layers. Then I purge out the old layers. Normally this works fine, but I have lately had trouble getting rid of some unwanted layers as everytime I have tried, I get the message that they are x-ref dependent and cannot be deleted or purged. I have tried to isolate them by freezing and turning off everything else, but there are no features, entities, "specks" whatever, to erase. I have looked at the xref command, and my drawing shows no rogue xrefs. I am not sure what to do to get rid of these layers.

I want to delete Xref-dependent layer. AutoCAd says I can't delete them. I want to delete them.

Is there a macro or lisp file that allows you to click on a element in the xref or active file and turn it off?

Layers are shown in the drop down menu from the ribbon but when I open the layer manager no layers are visible. I can click in the empty space and the layer will highlight. See attached.

I have a viewport in paper space with most layers set to "VP Freeze". When I save the drawing or when a auotsave occurs, the frozen layers become visible again in the viewport even though they are still marked as frozen. The only way I can get the viewport to display correctly again is to close the drawing and re-open it. How I can stop this from happening?

Everytime I attempt to change the color on this one particular layer (that is brough in though an xref), it changes the color of every layer in my drawing. I am using Autocad MEP 2012

My question pertains to layer colors from xrefs that have other xrefs nested inside them.
When I get xrefs from the architects, I get a building layout, RCP, space layout, etc. I tie all these together into a single "architect base" xref so I don't have to attach 4 xrefs to each new file I create. What I would like to be able to do is set all the layer colors in the misc. architect xrefs in my "architect base" file and have those color settings propagate into my drawings as I create them. This comes into play especially if I have to create a new drawing late in the project, and I don't want to have to go set hundreds of layer colors individually. ?
Visretain comes to mind, but visretain (if I'm correct) is really for keeping xref color settings in your current file from session to session, not in a new file that you are creating using an xref.

I am working on a standard part that has different configurations depending on user inputs into a GUI. Once the user enters all the required parameters, the part is in its final form with all unnecessary features suppressed. I am looking for a way to automate the delete of the suppressed features using a rule and i Logic before the user saves the file.
The main reason for doing this is to reduce the file size of the part once it is saved because this same template will be used for hundreds of parts and I don't want to waste unnecessary storage space on suppressed features.

Do the people that develop (anti-endusers ) the upgrades ever think like an end user? Having the Layer Properties Manager set up with default filters that show "ALL" layers or "Xref" layers without a default for "Layers Local ONLY" is so counterintuitive and non-user friendly! This is just another example of how Autodesk has absolutely no regard for the end user.

I have a Base.dwg where I xref-Attach a Proposed.dwg file into. I changed the Color=gray and Plot Style=Existing of the Proposed xref in the Base. Visretain=1.
I now create a Sheet.dwg and xref Base into it (and Proposed comes along too). The settings for Proposed are not what I have set in the Base file, they are what's in the original Proposed file.
Can I get these settings to come through? I cannot go into the original Proposed file and change settings.

I have a large assembly that I have been working with for about a month . I recently went in and changed some information and it seems that my work plane is way out of whack! How to get it back down to size. this makes it real difficult to use my space navigator because the center of gravity is off bigtime too. I also would like to know how to make all parts and features visible, is there a button somewhere?

Is it possible to run a lisp which can extract all the xref names, make a layer with that name and then change the xref on the layer? I have got a similar routine from earlier posts but it doesn't work if any xrefs inserted in paper space (works fine on model space). could change this routine allowing to change the layer of xref in paper space too.
(defun dxf (i a) (cdr (assoc i a)))
(defun c:lxr ( )
(setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
[Code].....

When working with an xref background, we are experiencing really bad lag, and delays when working with objects that are drawn on top of an xref. I have restarted the affected computers, restarted the server that all files are housed on, upgraded the network switch...with no results. Tasks that should take fractions of a second, are sometimes lagging anywhere from 3-15 seconds depending on what layers of the xref are un-frozen and visible.

I have a topo drawing containing contours which are labeled with elevation.
I Xref'd this drawing into another drawing and the contour labels do not show up, so i have to re-create the contour labels.
Is there a way for the labels to show up automatically when XREF'd?

I am using MEP 2012, I have arch back rounds on in a Xref. Everything seems to be fine and work well. When we go to print the drawing on with the xref on it is barely visible. If I open the xref up and print it comes out fine. I have inserted the xref to its own layer.I do not know what to do from here.

Possible to link an xref layer and local layer so they display the same (eg. sync viewport colour, linewieght, line type)?
I insert xref's for my base drawing but legend is on local layers and I would like to be able to ensure that the line colour and linetype always match...

What is the point of Xrefs in 3ds Max if disabling the Xref does nothing to improve performance? Apparently everything in the disabled Xref is still calculated, because my viewport performance is crap. So I am reduced to deleting the Xref entry completely in order to get an acceptable interactive frame rate. This defeats the purpose of Xrefs. I might as well just Merge objects in and delete them when they're not needed.
This is 2013, I thought this sort of thing would have been dealt with properly by now. If the Xref is disabled, that means I don't want it to use ANY CPU time or ANY memory. As it stands, the value of Xrefs in 3ds Max is dubious at best.

I want to use the different features in Map 3d such as the points, lines and polygon. I went to the help file and it instructed me to go to the display manager and right click on the "feature" layer to create a layer for the relevant feature that i want to use, but i have no "feature" layer in the display manager.
How do i create this layer? I use a template that is setup for c3d, is it due to this that there is no standard layer in the template?

I want to lock my layer from deleting. I did it as for object:
public class NonErasableLayer : ObjectOverrule
{
public NonErasableLayer()
{
this.SetCustomFilter();
}
protected override void Dispose(bool value)
[code]......
Then I set overrule for Drawable objects:
ObjectOverrule.AddOverrule(RXClass.GetClass(typeof(Drawable))...
When I run it I saw my message from Erase method but... layer is deleted. This method works fine for any objects as Line or Circle, but doesn't work for layer. How I can reject layer deleting?

I have a drawing which has multiple blocks. When I explode one block there is an identical block underneath on layer 0.
Is there a way in AutoCAD 2012 to select all the blocks on layer 0 and delete them so that it would leave me with just the one set of blocks?

problem in photoshop when selecting a layer and deleting it from the layer beneath...
Layer #1 is on top of layer #2....holding down the apple key and clicking on layer #1 to select everything in that layer, then deleting that selection from layer #2 underneath it....this always results with thin ghost lines of everything that was deleted...
How do you delete a layer from a layer and not get those thin outlines off what you just deleted?

I've been having a problem with my AutoCAD LT 2010 completely deleting files after I have saved them and closed them. There is no file in the recovery manager, no back up file, nothing. It has happened three times without warning and it always happens to files I've been working on for awhile and have opened and closed multiple times. Is there any way to recover these files and how do I keep it from happening again?

I have hundreds of drawings with attributes that are duplicated. I can't go through each individual drawing, call up BATTMAN and delete them one by one. I need a way to automate the process. The duplicates always show up in EATTE and show up most of the time in BATTMAN. I need a lisp that will find and delete duplicates shown in RED while leaving the originals intact.

I created a command that I no longer use. I actually made a spelling error upon creating it "SUPECLOSE" and I want to delete it.
This is how I created this command: I typed in ALIASEDIT in order to add a new alias to a command.
I then clicked on the "Add" button.
In the "Alias:" field, I typed in "xx"
And in the "AutoCAD Command:" field, I typed in "SUPECLOSE" - which isn't actually an autoCAD command. "SUPERCLOSE" is the command I use to run a custom LISP routine that I created. Upon hitting pressing "OK" to this, AutoCAD prompted me with: "'SUPECLOSE' is a new command, Do you want to add this to your list of commands?"
I said yes. And then shortly afterwards realized the spelling error I had made. Problem is...I don't know how to access this list and delete the new command that I had just created (which does nothing).

I have multiple paper spaces to show a variety of drawings. I currently have my floor plan as a viewport, but I need to delete it in order to add in my elevations. I tried deleting my current viewport, but it also deletes the rest of mine. How do I delete a viewport from only one paper space, so that it does not interrupt with my other drawings?
