AutoCAD 2010 :: Import / Export Layer Filters
Jun 21, 2012Is this functionality still available. I have seen several threads that mention it being available on some people layer manager, but I don't have it on either. See attachment. I remember there being a registry key you could add or change to the tools, but when I did that I always got two errors in drawings that would appear every audit.

Apr 16, 2011I'm trying to import layer group filters from dwg to dwg. I know that this feature removed with Autocad 2005. I know i can import layer states, but layer states doesn't solve my problem. I tried "lfilterio" but it's not working.
how to make it, with or without a lisp routine. Or may be write one?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?
Oct 2, 2013A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).
Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.
Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?
I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MEP 2013 Layer Dialog - Layer Pane Not Updating To Selected Filters
Jan 18, 2013I'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 2010 :: Import / Export Layer Property Custom Filters
Nov 14, 2012I need importing and exporting custom layer property filters. Long story short, we XREF a lot of mechanical equipment in our models and when we create a structural drawing make all of the mechanical item print in a light ghosted color. I created a layer property filter with a huge list of all the possible equipment prefix's like *cl-* *tk-* *rv-* and so on to filter out all the equipment layers. It took a long time to create, so I want to export it and import it into future drawing.

Jun 20, 2013While I have layer filter on using dialog, I want to add a new layer to this filter.Normally you right click and add layer similar to the highlight layer, however, you if layer filter are on, then layer 1 is created.
Then you have to find this layer, and rename it. I also can use the command prompt to created the layer, However, I want to create a layer name similar to the one in the filter, as if I index the layer. Example:C-topo-spot-existing-phase -1 New layer: C-topo-spot-existing-phase-2.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filters To Strip Off Xref Name?
Aug 7, 2012Is there a way to set up a layer filter to strip off the xref name?
I have standard layers in all my drawings. I want to use a filter to setup the type of drawing.. i.e erosion control.
However, from project to project the xref file name changes so filters don't work with the new name...
Anyway, if there is a way to hide the xref filename from the prefix of the layer.. if so, a standard layer filter would grab all the layers with the same name.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filters Stop Working

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created P&P Sheets That Do Not Include Layer Filters?
Sep 9, 2013We have one template that we use for starting all our drawings. This contains all of our layers, layer filters and most commonly used blocks.
Then we have a template file called "Titleblocks" -- this contains one layout for each different size border as well as vport definitions for Plan, Profile or P&P.
When I used the C3D P&P tool to create my sheets, it of course used the Titleblocks template which means that the filters are lost. Is there a relatively simple way to add those filters to my sheets? Each sheet is a layout in a separate dwg file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import / Export Custom Assemblies Palette?
Apr 13, 2012I recently made a custom Tool Palette that contains all of our most commonly used Assemblies in our office on my PC. I then exported the Paleette to a location on our network and tried to import it onto another workstation. The Palette imported correctly and all of the assemblies are visible. However, when an assembly is attempted to be inserted into a drawing nothing is inserted.
Upon insertion the properties menu box shows up indicating that it is closed or locked..."do you wish to continue".
Is there a step that I am missing on importing or exporting of assemblies or Palettes?

Jul 24, 2013I need to export 3dpolylines from C3D 2013 to an ERSI SHP file.
Using the mapexport command I’m able to do this, however, the lines in the shp file don’t retain the layer name and colours that are in the C3D file.
Do I need assign ‘object data’ (or something similar) to the 3D polylines before exporting the shp file.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Styles Corrupt Layer?
Mar 7, 2013who has a specific layer assigned for the water drop routine verify if you get the same results.
If I take a file that has the layer assigned (C-TINN-WSHD) and import my template using the "Manage-Import styles" it corrupts the layer to (AcDbObjectId::kNull), then when I save the drawing and reopen it's reset to layer (0).
Pretty obvious but this only happens when "Import Settings" is toggled on, but it shouldn't be corrupting the layer if on.
Both files have the same settings and layers in each, so it's not looking for something that isn't there.
See Image.
I was able re-create this with “_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS.dwt”

AutoCad :: Xref Layers / Layer Filters
Mar 31, 2011My company uses tons of Xrefs - wonderful, however problem comes when having to navigate through 100's of layers to get to the main drawings layers. So I tried using the layer filters to just show my main drawings layers. Here is the problem, I you can select show all layers, not good, can select just the xrefs (show all of them or show just one of them, etc...), or you can show just the used layers - I tried that, but when you create a new layer it is not included in that filter. I tried setting up a custom layer filter, however, I don't know how to right the name or what selection to make that would allow me to exclude a set of layers.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer States Applying Filters?
Oct 3, 2013I was trying to use layer states and layer filters, the way when I use the layer state 1, for example, it will only be shown in my layer panel the layers on/unfrozen for this layer state. I checked the layer management panel and removed the layers I didnt want to be shown from this layer state 1 and hit ok/close, but they're still being showed. So i created a filter, turned it on and saved my layer state with this filter ON, and nothing was changed.

Jun 16, 2010My layer filters are not working on the ribbon, why and/or if this is an autocad bug.
I created one for hiding Xref layers, which is an inverted filter. it works on the "Layer Properties Manager" but does not work on my ribbon layer menu. If i turn on the old layer dialog it is working in there.
I know there are many differnt views about the ribbon so i dont need any of the comments telling me to turn it off and get on with it etc.
If you look at the attached images you can see the screen shots of my problem. Note that i have the layer settings correct. Autocad Help says that if the "apply filter to layer toolbar" is on then it will apply this to the ribbon. which it does not.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Purging Layers Ruins Layer Filters?
Jan 22, 2013We have a number of standard layer group filters. We also have a utility that allows us to re-create our standard layers with the push of a button, making it easy to use the PURGE command to keep the drawings clean.
We have noticed that once we purge our layers out, the group filters are broken. After reinserting the standard layers, some of them show no layers, and others show all of the layers, neither of which is correct. It seems that once a Group Layer Filter no longer sees the layers it was set to include in the layer list, it forgets all its settings and becomes useless.
How can we continue to use PURGE without losing the functionality of our layer filters?
