AutoCAD 2010 :: Use The Layer State Manager Within Viewports?
Jan 31, 2013Let's say you create a floor plan, and you use the Layer State manager to separate the framing plan, finish plan, reflected ceiling plan, etc. Now, when you go to create a sheet, you xref this plan into model space with all of the layers thawed/on, go to your titleblock in paper space and make a viewport.
Currently, if I click into a viewport and use the Layer State manager to show just the information of the RCP, it will freeze all of the layers I don't need, but it will freeze those layers in model space, instead of just within the viewport. It gets very time consuming doing it the way I always understood to do it; making sure all layers are thawed/on in model space, and then going into each viewport and manually VP-freezing each layer I don't need.
So can Layer States be set up to work within viewports, to only have those layers VP-frozen?
AutoCAD Architecture :: Change Colors In Layer Manager?
Apr 24, 2013I am working in AutoCD 2013. When I try to change colors in my layer manager ( 1 or multiple) nothing happens. It seems like it just stops and never gives me an option to change the color. I can change all the other features in the layer manager except for the colors (color & plot style color).

Jul 11, 2012From time to time the layer properties manger Blanks out. See the attached image. The data is there, under the "fog" - I can view one item at a time by clicking on it.
CLASSICLAYER works in most situations, but it isn't a real fix. If I play with the layer manager long enough I get some degree of rehabilitation - as if it is really trying hard to open, but just can't manage it. The fields sometimes are blocked black, or certain areas of the fields become visible momentarily. If I scroll to the far right I can pick up some information.
I'd just like it to work properly.
I am running AutoCad Architecture 2012 on Windows 7 professional with NVIDIAGeForce GT 440 and dual screens, (however I keep all the autocad work on the same screen).
AutoCAD 2013 :: Sheet Set Manager Initial State
Jul 31, 2013We are currently working on a big project which contains hundreds of drawings. We're using the sheet set & are very happy with with it. I have one question: How can you change the initial state of the sheet set manager. When I open my sheet set, some subsets are always expanded. I would like my sheet set to close all subset when I initially open the sheet set.

Mar 12, 2013Alright, I'm not actually trying to do customization, I have a client that cannot save his drawing and have be in a "Saved" state. When creating a data shortcut, after saving the file (and doing nothing else, I watched), he is unable to create the shortcut because the drawing needs to be saved. Another example, when doing an e-transmit it tells him that the drawing hasn't been saved and if he wants to save the file. He clicks YES and then it tells him the drawing hasn't been saved and asks him if he wants to save it.
It seems to be isolated to this file. If he works in a different file, it works just fine. Also, I had him send me the files (via e-transmit) and I was not able to replicate the problem so, it seems to have something to do with this particular file on his system.
My question then is, can something be embedded into the file that will cause something to happen directly after a save (like a reactor)?He's using Civil 3D 2012 but I don't think it's anything directly related to Civil 3D.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Xref Manager Saving State List?
Nov 9, 2012We have a procedure of detaching Xref's from any drawing on our project to minimize Navisworks load time.
Is there a way to save a list of xref’s that are in your drawing so the next time I go back to that drawing I can just pick on the saved list and it will pull up all those xref’s??
We load a composite of over 2000 models. The drawings that contain xref's in them increase load time so we have to detach all xref's from the drawings before we save to minimize this load time.
AutoCAD .NET :: Layer States / Layer State Masks In VB
Jun 10, 2011My goal is to batch plots using VB in Visual Studio 2008, Autocad Map 3D 2010, Win 7 Pro 64. It all works but now I want to apply layerstates.
I am using the example in the dev. guide here: [URL]........
My questions:
1. If you use Option Strict, how do you convert from integer to "layerstatesmasks.color"? VS shows the error "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Integer' to 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayerStateMasks'." I can't figure out the conversion. Are the values documented somewhere? "clientmask" is not in the object browser or the dev. guide.
2. If you aren't sure what is masked, do you turn on all of the options on (on, color, linetype, lineweight, etc.)? Is there a sum of values that means "layerstatemasks.all"?
3. LAS files are DXF format. Do I have to read the LAS to detemine what the user wants?
4. The second argument to .restorelayerstate is the viewport id. The examples use objectid.null. I could have several layouts to plot, and maybe several viewports. Is the process a) Make the layout current, b) activate each viewport, c) set model space current, and d) restore the layerstate?
AutoCAD Architecture :: Contextual Tab State To OFF?
Mar 23, 2011Is there any way to turn off the Contextual tab state. I tried changing a lot of them in the CUI Ribbon Properties from Full to Merged but now when I select anything the program slows down to a crawl. My reason is that its really not that convenient for ACA to keep switching back and forth just because I select an object. I use a lot of hot key’s but there are many commands on the Home Ribbon tab that I use 99 percent of the time at selection and I find it a royal pain in the ars to keep switching it back to get to the command I need. I’m using 2011 ACA. OS is Windows 7. 64 bit and 10 GB of Ram

AutoCad :: Open Layer Manager To Turn On Layer In View Port?
Oct 6, 2011I 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.

May 23, 2013I'm working with AutoCAD LT 2013. Just recently my layer State has not allowed me access. When I try to add a layer or edit a layer I can't get access and I get a pop-up note which reads:

When I access layer states manager I can add a new layer-BUT it does not show up in Layers. Acts like the Layer State is Frozen to further modifications.

Nov 18, 2011How 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 2013 :: Maintain Customized Layer State
Nov 5, 2012Im having a layer state issue with ACADE 2013;Vive saved a Layer state ("trial state") that has about 30 layers and some of them have been frozen.
I made the trial state the current layer state, however, when I save and close the drawing and then reopen it, "Trial State" is no longer the current state. Instead the layer state is changed to "Unsaved Layer state", and I have to manually select my trial state each time. I haven't even modified any layers or added more layers and it does this.
Im wondering if there is any way to keep/lock my customized layer state on a drawing.
AutoCAD LT :: Layer State File Not Visible When Importing
Aug 26, 2013 I have several .dwg files from an architect each with several hundred layers. I set up a Layer State in one drawing with just the layers I need. I want to use the same Layer State in the other drawings. I opened the Layer States Manager, selected my layer state, and clicked export, selected a location and closed the window.
I double checked in the file manager in Windows 7 that the .las file was where I had exported it. Then I opened the next .dwg, opened Layer States Manager, navigated to the file location and the .las file does not show up.
When I go back to the original drawing and click Import, the .las file is not visible either, but it is if I click Export.I am working on drawings on my hard drive not a network, and saving the .las file to my hard drive.

AutoCad :: Project Keeps Reverting To Unsaved Layer State?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Default Layer And XCLIPFRAME State When It Opens
Oct 6, 2011Whenever I create a new autocad drawing or open an existing autocad drawing it seems to automatically set my layer to default of "dim" in lieu "0" or whichever last layer I was on before I closed and saved the file.
The same goes for XCLIPFRAME. For some reason XCLIPFRAME is automatically set at 2 in lieu of 0 whenever I open any existing autocad files (again it does not matter whichever state I saved the drawing in)
I've checked my default template dwt file and i've made sure these settings are right.

Feb 20, 2013i have a small lisp and i would like for it to:
when i invoke the plot command, it will first check if there is a layer state called "Temp"if "Temp" exists, then delete "Temp", then re-create "Temp", then switch layer state temporariliy to "Plot" to plot the file, and then switch back to the "Temp" layer state againbasically, the "Plot" layer state will be set based on how the drawing(s) will plot. if a user makes changes here-n-there in the drawing, when the user wants to plot, the software will save current state as "Temp", plot using the "Plot" state, and switch back to "Temp" state at the end. all i am trying to achieve is to somehow over-write the "Temp" state. below is the LISP.
