AutoCAD 2010 :: Layer Search By Letter?
Apr 18, 2013
this layer appears to be limited to the layer palette. many of us will start typing for the layer when searching instead of scrolling. now in the layer pull down in the ribbon this works as expected start typing the layer name (2-3 letters) and it locates the layer. if this is done using the palette it will only search to the first letter. if i use the classiclayer dialog it works the same as the drop down from the ribbon.

I started to develop autocad's application with .Net framework.
But i have some trouble, particularly when i try to find a block by name (not like id).
I would take a block by name, instead to get all block and find one with comparison.
How can resolve this problem?

I've got problems using Acad 2012, i'm sure it isn't a hardware problem since the specs are HIGH
First Problem is, when mouse over an icon/box/whatever you call it (eg. Line tool, Circle tool, etc), it only displays the text, but it doesn't show a blue highlight like it's supposed to do, and when i select it, the Blue highlight does not transfer to it, it remains on the Line tool
Second, The Search box isn't working
Third, when i switch from Drafting & Annotation to something else or vice versa, the tabs remain the same, and is usually accompanied by some annoying lags.

My computer is not searching for the xrefs correctly. Whenever I switch to another job and try to load an xref, the computer searches under the last job I worked on and nothing else. I have several folders listed as search paths but it just seems to be ignoring them. We never used to have this problem and I cannot figure out what has changed.

I have a project with many different blocks of text, and colors changing from letter to letter within words.
How do I identify what any given color is?
When I click on a letter, it shows me a visual block of the color, but doesn't tell me what the corresponding color number is.
Problem being, if I see one letter and want to take its color to use it elsewhere, I have no way of knowing what that color is.

I have been given a set of drawings (300+) and I need to find where and/or if certain blocks (and other objects) are used in these drawings. Is there a utility program or does AutoCAD have the ability to search a group of drawings for a block (by name) and return a list of all the drawings where the block is found.
On that same topic, is there a utility program that will export all the CAD data from a list of drawings to a .csv file or even excel so I can filter and search several drawings for layers, blocks, xrefs etc.

I've done it before, but cannot for the life of me find how to modify the default Script file search path.
I'd thought it was under the "options" Dialog, along with the other search paths, but cannot find it.

When I migrated to 2012 form 2011, it only migrated a partial list of the support file search locations. So, I reset the ones that were missing and exported out my profile.
Next I saved my workspace to my name and checked the box to "automatically save workspace".
I shut my computer down for the night. When I restarted my computer, then AutoCAD 2012 the missing support paths are missing again. I am not the only one in the CAD department that is having this issue. It is so annoying to have to reset my profile every time I shut my computer down.

When you start autocad for the first time, it creates a profile with the default support file search paths. Where does AutoCAD get this from?
I want to use this for a tool I am creating.

We have a person in the office that would like to create their own .ctb file that we would like to have them to access but they will also need to access our .ctb files (Standard). We currently restrict access to the .ctb files as they can be alterered leading to problems for everyone printing. Is there a way to create another path so they we can have a locked folder of .ctb files and an unlocked folder for .ctb files.

I think the layer panel filter is a fantastic addition to Photoshop but I think it really falls down when using the search by name feature.
I wanted to find a layer called "logo" which I did easily by selecting filter by name and searching for "logo". Voila the layer I couldn't find it isolated in the layers panel.
Now what I wanted to do was move that layer to the top of the stack so I selected that layer and turned off the filter. to find that the layer was not still selected in the layers panel. So now what do I do? I don't remember where it is and the search by name is useless in accomplish what I wanted.
I propose that when I layer is selected in the filtered layers panel that it stays selected and visible in the panel when the filter is turned off.

I have many pictures (about 10'000). Now i need a search (smart search) with pictures where only my mother (is marked)
On all my pictures each person is tagged. For my mother the Person Tag is called "mother"
I created a saved search with the criteria Person include "mother". The problem now is that also pictures are shown with my mother and other persons. But i would like only pictures from my mother without other persons. Something like... "Person is mother and not person "sister" and not person "friends" etc.

I'm using Lightroom 5.2RC. Not sure if this started happening with the 5.2RC version or if it's been an issue for a while.
While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.

Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people. I tag each person in each photo. I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it. I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed. On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”. The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture.
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type? If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.

I am finding the layer combo control in 2010 an annoyance. The drop down box does not access as many layers as did the version in 2009, and I find myself continually searching through the drop down box to reference a particular layer. How to rectify to have it similar to 2009?

So my pluming layer is on and "no plot" is NOT selected, yet when I plot, it does not show up? It was working fine last week and i don't think has been saved since then. Also, the xref prints on other sheets, except this one so i'm thinking there is a difference in the page setup but I dont see any discrepancies.

I am transitioning from ACAD2008LT to ACAD2012 and am having a new problem when trying to create a new layer. I use many layers in my drawings and I set up specific layer naming conventions and use many layer property filters (filtered by layer name - for example, dimension layers named '*-Dim' and a property filter for '*-Dim') to manage the many layers.
In ACAD2008LT you could create a new layer while in a property filter view (in the Layer Properties Manager) and could type in the new layer name from that filtered view. If, after entering the new layer name, it matched the current property filter, it would remain in view, if it did not, it would automatically be moved to the appropriate filter or to the 'All Layers' view. That seems very logical.
In ACAD2012, as soon as I create a new layer while in a property filter view, the default layer name 'layer' does not match the filter parameters (say '*-Dim') and the new layer immediately moves to 'All Layers' before a new name can be entered. I have to then switch filter views back to 'All Layers' and find the new layer now named 'layer' and rename it there, trying to match the desired property filter name.
Am I missing something or is this an intended change from earlier versions? It was really nice to be able to see the layers in the property filter view while creating a new layer with a naming convention that matches that filter. In fact, I often create multiple new layers matching a property filter by copying and pasting similar layer names and just changing a character or two. In ACAD2008LT I could do that all from the appropriate property filter view.

This is what is happening,
for example, i have a layer for dimenisioning called, 'DIM.' I'm not sure when it happens but AutoCad creates new layers that are called: DIM @ 12, DIM @16, DIM @ 18, DIM @ 128....It does this for different layers as well. There must be some significance of Autocad adding a @ # at the end of the layers name.
It then changes certain blocks from the regular layer, to these new ones. It doesn't affect any block consistently. So one block 'A' is changed to the new layers, but the other block 'A' is not changed.
The only thing I did differently for this drawing set was used dxfout/dxfin to purge dgn files out of my drawing, any possible connection there?

Many of the blocks my company uses were created with the linework within the block on Layer 0, and set to ByLayer.
When I insert it into a drawing, I put the block on a layer other than 0, and use that layer to control the color & linetype.
If I Xref a drawing, and want to turn off or freeze a layer I use the Freeze and Off buttons in the layers section of the ribbon (I'm working in 2012). This way, I don't have to figure out what layer an object is on to turn it off.
Here's the problem: When I try to freeze or turn off a layer by clicking on a block, it doesn't do anything to the layer that the block is on. It tries to effect layer 0. Even if I use the list command to find out what layer an object is on, it says it's on 0.
I found this article that seems to explain how to use layer 0 in blocks: [URL] ....
It seems my company is doing things exactly as that writer recommends. But it still seems incredibly faulty.
What is the best way to design and work with blocks? I always try to avoid using layer 0, but that would waste a lot of time trying to override the company standards.

I have two viewports in a drawing file. One is for existing and new conditions and one is for existing and demolition conditions. So, I want one viewport to freeze some layers and the other viewport to freeze other layers. After picking and freezing certain layers in each viewport, I created New Layer States - One called New Floor Plan and the other called Demo Floor Plan.
When I click inside one of the viewports and select the appropriate layer state it changes both viewports to the same layer state. That is not what I want. Is it possible to have one layer state in one viewport and another layer state in another viewport?

I just started using 2012 and have few problems. I do MEP drafting and usually use multiple states within a dwg. we create bases and xref them into the various disciplines. When I toggle between the different saved states within a dwg, the layers in the dwg appear, but the xref layers turn off every time. is the a glitch?
Also i don't know how I turned this on, but there is a blue box that appears on my crosshairs and shows me the different lines that I select.

we have a drawing where we were un-able to use snaps (end, per, quad, etc.) on any blocks.
It seems like this particular drawing has issues not seen elsewhere.(besides the fact it was badly drawn) After some time playing with all the settings. We turned on the zero layer and then all the nodes were available as usual.
i've been using AutoCad for 20 years and never seen this. Is this some kind of new feature?Can you control the snaps with a layer? WHY?
