I'm getting this msg and I don't know what it means. Never seen it before.....
"the properties of these layers should be evaluated to ensure they display as intended in paper space viewports and in layer states.
view the list of unreconciled new layers in the layer properties manager"
How do I prevent this from popping up, more specifically, how do I keep it from popping up during a publish?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a big drawing with a ton of information in it. To create specific layouts, I xref it into another drawing, turn layers on/off, change colors, etc to highlight some specific part of the work that that particular drawing deals with.
Every time I reload the xref, ALL the xref'd layers show up as unreconciled. I know that I can ctrl+a and right click and reconcile them, but any changes I have previously made to those layers (color, etc.) default back to how the layers are displayed in the original.
LAYEREVAL is set to 0 in both drawings. New Layer Notification is UNchecked along with all sub-boxes) in the Layer Settings dialog. I've never had this happen before unless the layer truly was new in the original drawing - this time it's every layer every time. Also, LAYEREVALCTL and LAYERNOTIFY are set to 0 in both drawings, though I'm pretty sure these are the same system variables that are manipulated in the Layer Settings dialog.
AutoCAD 2008 introduced layer notification, which is a feature that lets you know when new layers are added to your drawing or xrefs you have attached. My experience is that very few use this feature to better control. One reason may be that reconciling of the new layers are not as simple as it could be.
In a multidisciplinary environment this is very useful when you reference the second discipline models into your model. You will be notified when new layers are added to other discipline models. When AutoCAD notify you about new layers, the idea is then that you should check if this is relevant to your discipline.
The problem as I see it is that there is no easy way to verify the new layers. What if LAYWALK command had a list of layer filters so you could choose "Unreconciled new layer" filter. Then the LAYWALK command had been the tool to easily verify the new layers.
I worked on X'ref DWG. After editing the referenced file and reloading the X'ref, i get a message saying ' Unreconciled New Layers'.
What could be the reason for this and how to rectify this?
The subject pretty much sums it up. How do I turn off the unreconciled layers thing? I don't want it on a per drawing basis, I want it to be off for good.

I have never seen this before, but then I did not do a lot of customizations
I was presented with a little renovation project and need to setup my own drawing. I've worked on CAD for a number of years while at a structural firm, an engineering firm and took classes in school but one thing I never had to do was setup was my own professional drawing from scratch. I know enough that it's crucial I start off on the foot. The engineering firm I worked at had everything ready so whenever I used CAD it was in an existing drawing or preparing a detail which the drafters imported. When I did some drafting work for an architect, he also had the drawing setup for me.
Since I'm now on my own I need to setup my own template drawing with a title block, layers, etc. Whats the best route for setting up my own sheets?
At my firm we always worked in a 1:1 scale & engineering units but since I'm doing floor plans for renovation work I plan on using the industry standard.
I have a problem with exporting layers from dwg to pdf. Problem is that i can export (or print) drawing but i missing some layers in layer manager in pdf. I have drawing with 150 layers (from other co-workers) but only mine 4 layers doesn't appear. I have check in ACAD in layer prop manager if they are plottable but this is not a problem for content from those 4 layers are exported in pdf but not in layers they have to be (those layers are missing)!
I use ACAD 2012
edit: i found out that layers doesn't appear because contetnt on them are only blocks. for eg. block is on layer 1 but contetnt of block is on layer 2 so i see only layer 2 in pdf but not layer 1
I need to supply a client with a drawing and exist. surface.But I don't want them to have the survey data or points.What's the best way to handle this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedThere are some layers in my drawing that won't delete in the layers properties manager. I don't know why. It gives me 4 possible reasons:
- It might be layer 0 or a Defpoint (whatever that is).
- It is the current layer
- It is an Xref dependent layer
- It is a layer containing objects
But none of these, to my knowledge, apply. There could be things on the layer that I'm just not seeing, but I've looked thoroughly. I even zoomed out to the extents, highlighted the whole area, and clicked the erase tool, but it still won't go away. I got the file from another computer, so it might be an Xref dependent layer and the Xref'ed files just didn't come with it. How would I be able to tell - and how could I remove the Xref dependency?
Other than that, is there any other reason a layer won't delete? Can I force it to delete?
How to automate the unreconciled layer list to automatically freeze all the layers in the list when opening drawing. This would force the user to select what layers they want shown rather than freezing / turning off the layers they don't want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAt the moment in AutoCAD (vanilla), we use different names & colors for block walls, concrete walls, etc. for easy isolation of each type, & for different lineweights (CTB). I thought of doing the same in ACA for the same reason, and so in wall styles, display properties, I changed the shrink wrap to by block.
This allows me to change the color of the walls according to the layers I put them into (in plan view). As I haven't even done a building in ACA yet, I need to find out if this method is acceptable, and what are the disadvantages, pitfalls, and if there's anything bad about it.
I would like to create sections from my 3D model that would directly associate the layers cut from the model. In other words, I would like the line work in the section to be on the same layer as entities in model.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a set of standard layers and styles we wish to be in every file. Many users are purge happy. and the these standards many times get purged out.
I have a block I've created that holds all the standard styles and layers which I have turned to an anonymous block. I wish to stick this somewhere that would make it unpurgeable. I thought I'd find another block which normally cannot be purged and place my block inside, but am not certain which one would be best.
where I might place this block to cause it to be un-purgeable?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question. I have several 3d models i've set up with 3d blocks in each one. They're separate to cut down on drawing size. I want to create a database of blocks so to speak by copying all the blocks into one drawing. I tried going through Design Center to copy the blocks in, but it won't let me just copy them. Is there a simple way to do this?

dynamic block in a drawing - when i make a change in the block editor, it doesn`t apply in the model space although i save all the changes. There is also another dynamic block and this time everything is working properly - all the saved changes appear in the model space. The only difference between the two blocks is that the first one has attributes. I think attributes should not be the reason for not applying changes, but i just don't know.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I use the CAD 'Plot Stamp' while converting a drawing to a PDF file (DWG to PDF), everything works as it should.
If I try to print it out on paper, it doesn’t work at all, even though it looks ok in the preview (however, if while in the preview, I try to zoom in on the Plot Stamp to see what's actually written, it disappears). Instead of being 'BR vertical' it's 'BR horizontal', It prints mostly out of the printable area and the text is a smaller size than specified.
