I have three layers in my drawing with attached TIFFs and every layer is changing from its assigned color to a grayed out appearance. Does this sound like a graphics/Hardware issue? Autocad Map 2010, XP, NVIDIA quadro fx 570 display adapter. 2 QB RAM processor.

Then I exit out of the layer manager....is there a routine that would do it with way less steps?...I'd try and create one but I've tried in the past and always seem to screw it up...

View 4 Replies View Relateddrawings that I download from commercial vendors, (Grainger, McMaster, etc). I figured out how to get access to them: When I convert them from .DXF to .DWG. it somehow allows me to correctly dimension them.
One more problem I have with these drawings is that although I can edit them, one of the most important things I need to be able to do is change the layer they're on. I can't figure out how. I usually use the "Change to Current Layer", LAYCUR, command, but it doesn't seem to work for these commecially downloaded drawings.
They're always in "Layer 0". I've created multiple other layers that I need them in, but I can't get them to move. When I select them and then click on the Change to Current Layer button, they just don't move. 'm drrawing in Model Space.
Every time I change views in 2013, new layers added to the drawing turn off. How do I stop this? The active layer also defalts to the active one I started with.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI’m currently working on getting a system for easier plant layout management. Part of which is condensing what started as 195 mostly random layers into about 15 usable layers.
Problem:
I have about 28 more layers that need to get rid of and I can’t delete them because there are lines assigned to them. However, when I hide all the layers I need so that only the unnecessary layers are showing, there’s nothing there.
Side Note:
I know this problem is most likely because there were layers applied to features deep within blocks. I just don’t want to go through the 700+ block to check each layer assigned to each line.
(This file I was given to start with is a mess. Examples: Some of the blocks have the same exact feature that’s buried 7 blocks deep with no features added to justify an extra bock being there. Some of the blocks aren’t even being used in the layout. Name of the block has no coloration with the actual thing it represents. Stuff like that…)
Question:
Is there a way of hunting down these layers in the blocks to delete / change them without checking each individual block? Or is it possibly because the layer i need to get rid of is applied to a block that’s not being used in the layout?
I am using the Color Exchange feature in Gimp 2. I am trying to change a red background to black. The Color Exchange feature allows me to do that, however, it comes out with only part of the color changed and it all very blotchy.
Here is a screenshot of what happens after I select the red square and do a Color Exchange from red to black.
I have a block. All work inside the block is set to layer 0 and color properties are set to 'By Layer'.
When I try to give the block a custom color in model space, e.g. 251, the block remains the same color as the layer color. I have been able to change block colors in this way before.
Using autoCAD 2009, having problems with my line changing to a lighter color, when I draw a line going horizontal it would be the color of the layer I put it in, when I draw a vertical line, the lines turns lighter, for example using color 31, horizontal it's the color I assigned it when vertical it turns white, red does the same thing except for when vertical it is pinkish, how do I get it back to be the same horizontal or vertical?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo here's what I'm trying to do. I'm working on something that requires two layers. In in one layer I'm supposed to draw something using the lasso tool, and then afterwards go to the other layer and change the upper output level. Unfortunately, it's not working for me and no levels are changing. This process works when I use the line tool to draw in the first layer but not when I switch to the lasso tool.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to replace the gray sky in one photos with the blue sky from another.
I've just gone through several tutorials but can't seem to figure out how to add more than 1 photo into the layers palette.
I open PS CS3, click on the top menu 'file', click "open", click the photo, click 'open' and the photo appears in the layers palette on the right side.
Then I repeat the process with a 2nd photo, and instead of being added in the layers box on the right as a 2nd photo, it replaces the first photo.
If I click the little box at the bottom 'new layer', I just get the blank checkerboard opacity.
How can I get 2 photos to open in the layers box?
Is there a system variable or some other method to change the background color when using fields? It makes reading text very difficult. I realize I can turn off background for fields, but I don't want to do that. I want to change the background to a darker grey so one still knows it's a field but easier to read.

I am trying to make a point of my drawing darker than the rest and the other areas just faded grey. I have colours 211-217 set to print at a darker colour and different line weights. For some reason though, even though I have some buildings in my drawing set to 214, it is still coming out cyan in my current drawing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI often will borrow groups and layers from one document and drag them into a new or a different PS document to borrow the layers and formatting so I am not starting over from scratch with a design that I just need to re-work into a different size.
But in the last two weeks, when I drag the layers over, they start mysteriously changing into other layers that I did not drag over. What is causing this bug? It wasn't there before as I have performed this action many times in various projects. I am using PS CS6 on a Mac Book Pro.
I am doing some engineering drawings in ACAD 2011. I use multiple colors on-screen to discern between certain items, then plot everything in black, like I'm sure almost everyone out there does. However, I would like to print only lines of a certain layer in differing colors. Is there a way to have that one layer print in a different color besides black, yet still use multiple colors on-screen?

With CS6 i loved the addition to combine vector layers into 1 new vector layer but when i do this in PS CC and then try to enlarge it it only enlarges the first shape.
