I am using 2013 C3D with SP1. After I publish sheets using the sheet set manager my layer filters stop working (will not filter layers, it will just display the last layer filter used prior to running the sheet set manager).
View 3 RepliesMy 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.
A 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.
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.
I have Photoshop CS3 Extended. The filters have recently stopped working, and has dropped me to a few filters to work with. Is there anyway to get my filters back without uninstalling and reinstalling the program?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile 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.
Notice that the import / export Layer filters is missing in 2009?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

We 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.
I have hardly ever used filters for any of my work as I have preferred using Xara's native tools and effects to get what I wanted. But recently, I was inspired by some animation work which used backgrounds painted in Photoshop. They used a lot of textures which enhanced the look of the animation and so I thought I'd try to simulate it within Xara.
It works very well and I can export it as a PSD retaining the layers and Alpha channel. But here come my questions.
1. How can I remove the two Alien Skin demo plugins as I already have the full versions.
2. Why don't the native Photoshop plugins--Artistic, Sketch, etc.--seem to work?
It appears that the Layer Filters functionality is broken again with 2013. Unchecking the "Apply layer filter to layer toolbar" disables the function of layer filters in the tool palette.

How to get the layer filters that are built in to work in the layer manager without pushing the setting into the toolbar? I had the same problem with LT 2013 on my old 32 bit machine. Others in the office running 64 bit did not have this problem with 2013. Running Windows 7 professional 64-bit.

I'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?
My 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.

I 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a layer filter that excludes Existing layer names, Following NCS standard, Existing information layer names always end with a -E
Help file says:
~ (tilde)
Matches anything but the pattern; for example; ~*AB*matches all strings that don't contain AB
but using ~*-E (tilde asterix hyphen E) returns all the layer names that end with a "-E"
does the tilde not function with LayerProperty Filters?

We 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?
I have the CS 6 abd some of the filters like graphic pen & photocopy not working. The field i am working is sRGB.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWorking on a simple 8-bit RGB image in the Filter Gallery, I find that a number of them (bas relief, charcoal, graphic pen, and a few others) give an all black preview. I have tried different zoom levels and mucked about with the settings on each, but they just don't seem to work at all. Others work fine on the same image. I restarted CS3 and also tried a different image, but the result was the same. Working on an XP-Pro machine with 3GB RAM.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Photoshop CS4 and when I try to use certain filters (think the ones that uses 3D) I can't click them.
Like Filters > Render > Lense Flare it's not greyed out but I can't click it, nothing happens.
My Photoshop said something about GPU mode being disabled in Preferences > Performance, but I enabled it, and ticked all options in GPU Settings > Advanced Settings. I tried every possible combination.
I updated to newest version, yet nothing seems to work.
I need to lay last hand on a picture and I need that flare for my sun!
Having a problem which is easy enough to replicate when using Merge to HDR Pro ... either directly from within CS6, from LR4 or from Bridge it is causing CS6 to stop working.
What happens is that if you are using Merge to HDR then switch to another application causing Merge to HDR to lose focus eventually it will not recover and the Cancel/OK buttons are greyed out and not available. It never recovers from there.
Typical symptoms where Merge to HDR stops working (and therefore CS6) are the following:
- Any sliders that had been adjusted prior to this happening are available to change, others are not;
- Any sliders that are greyed out can still be returned to their default value by double-clicking on the slider.
Photoshop has to be 'killed' before it can be used again.These symptoms are repeatable in the 32 bit version of CS6, the more files that are merged the quicker it happens. For example if you start with the "Photorealistic" preset and have 3 files open (opended using Camera Raw, Canon 5D mkII CR2 files therefore ProPhoto RGB; 16 bit; 5616 by 3744 (21.0MP); 300ppi) it happens withing a couple of times switching to other applications and back but with 9 files open it will happen faster.
And it also happens with AdobeRGB (8bit), ProPhotoRGB (8bit) and sRGB (8bit).Happens from both x64 and x32 systems. The environment is follows:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit, Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1

it is with the drawing pen, I have found that, when I load photoshop for the first time after starting the computer, the pen works as intended but if i were to close photoshop and reopen it later, the pen will cease to function with the program, despite my actions appearing in the history
