AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MEP 2013 Layer Dialog - Layer Pane Not Updating To Selected Filters

Jan 18, 2013

I'm having issues with Civ3d 2013. I pushed off upgrading from 2012 because of the format change and the service pack release. I was hoping little glitches would be fixed.

Here are the  a couple of glitches to date that I have seen no resolution to in the long list of threads.

1. Layer filters do not filter, unless I have checked "Apply filter to toolbar". The problem is, I dont want to apply them to the toolbar.

2. Publishing to PDF - when set to lines merge (set in the page layout and the publish setting), the wipeouts dont work, and the background masks on leaders makes a faint border around the text in the PDF. When set to overwrite, to get the wipeouts to not print to the PDF as a big black blob, they have to be on a layer set to color 255. I can work around most of the wipeouts, except for dimensions because the background mask doesn't seem to take.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Can Only See Most But Not All Of Layers In Layer Manager

Aug 12, 2013

I remember that there used to be a command I used in an older version of AutoCad, such as "Sort Layer" or similar that would populate all of the layers used in a drawing, which solves the problem of not being able to see all the layers. I believe the default value is not set at a high enough number. What this command is?

AutoCad :: Layer States Manager In 2013?

Oct 24, 2012

I have 3 states setup in the Layer States dialog box. I have even edited them to make sure they are setup. But, when I choose one and hit the Restore button, they don't. However, if I go thru the command line, they do work. Is the layer states dialog broken in 2013?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Batch Layer States Manager

Dec 6, 2013

Most our our plans sets have several (10+) plan sheets, all with the same reference drawings and layer states (properties) setup. Currently, if we need to change a particular color of a single layer, we need to open up all of the plans sheets individually and change the color (or import a layer state). This takes a lot of time.

We are looking for a third party program where we can run a batch program to update the layer states of several similar drawings automatically, without opening each individual drawing.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Xref In Layer Properties Manager

Apr 10, 2012

As I recall, in previous versions of AutoCAD, when I am in the Layer Properties Manager and I click on an xref under the Xref heading, the only layers shown were the ones in that xref, not all.

That is what is happening now. I cannot seem to find any setting under the settings for the Layer Properties Manager that would change this.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Unable To Use Layer Properties Manager

Mar 13, 2013

I have been having this issues as of recently, and i am now no longer able to use my "Layer Properties Manager"

Every time that i try to open the "LPM" it gives me an error that says

I have never seen this error before but its making it very miserable for me to have to seperate my work in layers without the use of the "LPM"

I have already un-installed & re-installed twice frankly i don't have anymore time to do this because i have deadlines i need to meet and its becoming a very big pain.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer States Manager Will Not Load Linetypes

Jul 2, 2013

Why is it, when I restore a layer state to a blank drawing, it cannot load the linetypes saved to those layers? I get an error that says Linetypes not loaded and then wind up with a full set of layers all with CONTINUOUS linetype.

If I bring in a block from a toolpalette that has a new linetype and layer, it will create them for me just by inserting the block. Am I missing something??

AutoCad :: Open Layer Manager To Turn On Layer In View Port?

Oct 6, 2011

I have a drawing where I need to open the layer manager to turn on a layer in a view port but cannot get to that particular column. As you look across the top of the layer manager I can see all the headings of each column beginning with "Name", "Status", "On" and so forth. The last column heading I see is "Description" but I need to go even further to the right to get to the column I need to be at but can't get there. There is no scroll button on the bottom of the layer manager which would allow me to do that.

AutoCad :: Get Classic Layer Manger To Use Layer Manager Tools?

Nov 18, 2011

How to get the classic layour manger to use the ACA layer manager tools?

In 2008 before the floating layer manager the manager looked as the Classic version does now in AutoCAD ACA 2012 with the tool of "new layer from standard". This tool now only seems to be in the floating layer manager and when I switch to Classic manager the "new layer from standard" is removed from the dialog box.

I want to use the classic dialog but have access to the "new layer from standard" tool

AutoCad 2D :: Create New Layer And Set It As Current In Layer Manager?

Nov 18, 2011

I'm currently using AutoCAD LT 2012 and when I create a new layer and set it as current in the layer manager, regardless of what color I set the new layer to, the new layer's color remains the same as the previous one in the properties box even though the colors of the layers are always set to "by layer."

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer Filters Properties Dialog Box Does Not Show?

Nov 6, 2013

This problem just started when I upgraded to 2014. When I try to set up layer filters the Layer filters properties dialog box does not show. I'm guessing the function is working its is just that the dialog box is poping up somewhere out of view of the monitors, forgot to mention it is a 2 monitor set up.

AutoCad :: Converting Layer Names To Point Names Or Comments?

Nov 28, 2011

I'm in the process of creating 3D points (as an overlay) on some laser scanned data (using RiScan, it's just 3d dimensional data, with a northing, easting and RL) and unfortunately the only export option is to export to .dxf... Which is fine but when I export, the information has the point ID as the layer name.

I am aiming at getting this data into another program to analyse and it needs the point ID or name to be my annotation, as opposed to the layer.

So what I need is a way of converting the names of each individual points layer, to the point ID.

Photoshop :: 3D Layer Merge - Layer Disappearing

Apr 14, 2009

I'm following instructions for creating a 3D Earth and Moon in CS4.  Everything works until I Merge the two 3D Layers.  No matter what the layer order, the smaller 3D object (moon) always disappears.  Before merging layers, the moon is a few inches left of the earth on the top layer (also tried it with earth on the top layer).

  What the heck am I doing wrong?  On the merged layer texture, I can see both textures, but only the earth is visibile.  I've even used the 3D tools to rotate the earth and see if the moon was placed behind the earth.  It is not.  Any suggestions?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Disappearing Select Color Dialog Box

Mar 14, 2013

I consider myself an advanced CAD user and much of the evolution that hapenned since I started using CAD-14. However, one of the most annoying features introduced in CAD 2010 is the 'disappearing' layer dialog box once you go to select a color. So you open the layer, create a new one, go to select a color just before you assign it a linetype, lineweigth and make it current, but as soon as you open the 'select color' dialog box and hover over it the layer window just goes. I know you can just make sure you do the color selection last, but what if you want to create three different layers and assign them a color ? you have to open the layer window 3 times and look for your layers...

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer States Layer Add / Delete

Oct 4, 2013

Everyone at the office where I work is having the same problem with AutoCAD 2014:

1. When creating a new layer state, and selecting all layers and clicking "remove from layer state" and then "okay", upon going back into the layer state, about 80% of the layers have returned and you have to select all and delete again and hit okay, and then go back in and do it again, about 7 or 8 times total before the layer state is cleared out and ready for you to add back just the desired layers.  Even if you don't create a blank slate layer state to begin with, whatever layers you delete, once you hit okay and go back into the layer state, most of the ones you just deleted are back.

2. Even more of a problem is that sometimes all the already created layer states will suddenly reassimilate ALL layers in the drawing, and the above process has to be done to all existing layer states.

This takes an enormous amount of time to correct for multiple layer states, which we typically have in a drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Layer Disappearing When Opening Drawing?

Sep 21, 2012

I had an issue using 3D 2010. In my drawing I had a layer for my windows. My windows were nicely put together and design on the window layer. Next thing that happens I turn on my drawing today to come and find my windows are now saved on my viewport layer and the viewport layer took the properties of my window layer. Now last night when I plotted out the drawing I made viewports on a layer for viewports and that was the last layer I had used so it was current. What I want to know is why the hell did the layer dominate my window layer with taking the properties of my window layer. I did not merge them!
