to select object on a single layer
Dim strLayer as string = "road"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2)
how do you select all objects on multiple layers
Dim strLayer as string = "road,sidewalks"acTypValAr.SetValue(New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, strLayer), 2)
the above does not work. how do you select all objects on multiple layers?
I use a lot of Group Layer Filters so I can turn things on/off quickly. My problem is I have been creating my Layer Filter Group by right clicking on the Layer Group Filter>going to Selection>then click Add> then go back to my drawing or Layout tab and select all of the layers I need then click enter. One day my AutoCad would not let me do that anymore, and even after I click on enter it gives me an error message saying the command is still active. Now from my Layer Properties Manager I can select any layer and drag/drop it into any filter and it works, but I really need to be able to select things within the model space or paper of each layout tabs.

I recently learned:
Ctrl + Win + Click on Desired Layer… To make a selection around the layer
Then I clicked on, "Refine Edge"… I was able to make a perfect selection around what I wanted using this feature. Very nice, by the way.
There were multiple layers, I merged the visible ones to make one layer. All of the stuff that makes up the banner, at the top of the page. My question is:
Can I make a selection around multiple layers, i.e. buttons, other pictures, etc.?
Side note question:
Does the document size have any effect on the overall size? Meaning: let's say that banner up top is 775 pixels across & maybe about 450 pixels tall… That's about the size of the image (the selected layer). The document size is laying on, is also 775 pixels across… But, 950 pixels tall. Will that document size have any effect on load time for a webpage?
people want to move multiple layers together. I know how to do that. I want to move a selection in two (or more) layers together. I'd also love to know how to use the free transform tool on a selection box in multiple layers.

This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?

I need a selection filter to find text objects within a rectangular area using dxf operators (do not want to use Editor.SelectWindow).
Whats wrong with the following code attempt?
It causes Fatal Error!
TypedValue[] tv2 = new TypedValue[15];
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "TEXT"), 0);
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<and"), 1);

I wonder if its possible to apply a filter to a subset of entities (that could be the result of a previous filtering).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to select two specific types of blocks from a drawing so that I can create layouts for each one of the pairs of blocks in my drawing. Basically, one block is the outline of the piece of the drawing and the second contains information about the drawing. I would like to select all of the outline blocks and then create a selection to get the second block which is inside the bounds of the first block.
I'm not sure how to create a set of typed values to do this. Here is my code so far which sets up a filter to get the first block and then for each of the blocks that it finds, it would select the block with all of the information which is where I am having problems. I don't know how to create a filter based upon location of the block.
using (Transaction tr = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { filList = new TypedValue[] { new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"<and"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start,"INSERT"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.BlockName,"D-1*"), new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator,"and>")}; // Build a filter list so that only block references are selected filter = new SelectionFilter(filList); //Select all res =

I'm using a typed value list to create a selection filter to use with Editor.SelectAll(filter) method. The selection returns both frozen & un-frozen entities. Is there a way to filter out frozen objects using the filter?

I'm putting together some quick function that I can send 2 arguments and get from it the total area of a given hatch on the given layer. I think everything is in order but I'm having trouble with the selection set filter:

I converted a drawing in pdf format into dxf. I'm using Autocad 2012 to edit the file. The dxf conversion is good, but of course there is no difference between the diffent kind of lines.
I would like to select all lines which have an orientation of 30° with the horizontal and put them into a new layer. Is there a way to do that ? I though about using a filter.
Then I will edit the properties oh those lines (color, thickness, type....).
Any settings where you can switch on/off the selection filter popup? Mine is just gone. Under application options I don't see anything to do with switching it off.

i know how to apply a filter to my Layers dialogue box - i use this often to just show local layers when i have a .dwg with a few xrefs in it, each of which have heaps of layers within themselves, and i don't need to see the xref layers etc
How to do a similar thing to the Properties bar layer field?
until now, when i needed to change the layer of an entity, i click on the little arrow on the RHS of this drop down field in the properties bar, and then have to seek out my layer name, which could be amongst the hundreds of xref layer names, depending on the naming conventions used etc.
i know with perfect naming convensions or by putting a "0" in front of my local layers, then at least all of mine will be grouped together at the top, but is there a way to bypass that option to ONLY show local layers???

How to filter multiple object types (here, the swamp, Google, and the docs) and have come up empty handed. I have code that filters out everything except for blocks (INSERT) with a few additional parameters to exclude blocks of a certain name, but I also need to include MULTILEADERS in the selection filter.
Here is the code I have for the INSERT filter:
acTypValAr = New TypedValue() {New TypedValue(DxfCode.Start, "INSERT"), New TypedValue(-4, "<NOT"), _ New TypedValue(2, "BLOCKA,BLOCKB,BLOCKC,BLOCKD"), _ New TypedValue(-4, "NOT>")}
How to add MULTILEADERS to this selection filter as well?
Is it possible to creae filter that would only show layers that are in use (actually have objects on the layer)? How would that be done?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to Apply adjustment layers to multiple layers that have different blending modes and keep the colors the same as the adjustment done?
I work in Animation painting Backgrounds. My files are sometimes upwards to 200+ layers.I will use adjustment layers to quickly balance colours and constrast on top of those many many layers.
The only way that I know of how to apply adjustment layers it to every single layer ( by applying I mean I need to get rid of the adjustment layers because we cant use them in production but i need the new colours be applied to all layers underneath ) in a psd is to manually do it By duplicating the adjusment layer 200+ times and then merging each layer to one of those adjustment layers so that that layer can take the adjustment layers effect permanently.
The issue is that Within Those 200 layers I have some layers set to Multiply or OVERLAY. IT obviously wont apply the adjustment layer properly to those layers because those layer blend mode affect the layers under them. The colour wont be the same anymore in the spots that had the multiply blended mode.

I have 2 adjustment layers up top. I need to get rid of them by applying them to each layer! I cannot merge any of the layers. We need all those layers for production.I can apply the adjustment layers manually and this works GREAT for all Layers set to normal. THey take on the colour change just FINE.
However, The issue is that layer 6 and layer 4 are both set to mutiply and this screws up the colour once i apply the adjustment layers to each layer manually...
How can i apply my adjustment layers to a file like this with some layers being set to multiply while keeping the layers exactly the same configuration and The new colour taking effect exactly how i looks before i apply the adjustment layers? Now the simple solution is to merge the multiply layers to the layer that it affects HOWEVER I NEED those multiply layers to be separate!
Imagine a layer containing 10 squares, each square is isolated (none are touching). I need a quick way to put each of those squares on its own layer. Is there something already built in, or any plugin or action?
