I want to know if I have understand this correctly or not: layer previous undos the last change in layer related command. Then If my last action is on layer, unod command will do the same. layer previous advantage is when you want to perform an undo which is not your last action.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA program that I have been using for years that I am unable to convert to vb.net. When I start a text/dim command, the routine changes my layer to my Dimension layer, like wise when I create a viewport.
I like what I see with A2k12 but all this vb.net stuff has me quite frustrated. So many programs to convert so little time.
At one point I had a layer command that I could select a line, type in the layer I wanted (with no extra prompts required) and it would change. The best part is if the layer didn't exist it would automatically create it (without prompting me Y/N).
Using LAYMCH in the command line is very close. However I have to press N for name, then enter the layer. If it is a new layer, it prompts me Y/N.
how to change the DTEXT command to be typed on a specified layer. I have poked around and came across some macros editing but this did not do the trick.

I have a user in my group that is hesitant to upgrade to 2012 because , he has many lisp routines that are associated with the PREVIOUS selection feature. This selection is very useful in that when you are moving or selecting many objects you can enter P for previous and the object will be selected.
In 2009, when you select objects then hit escape, then try to execute a command requesting to use the Previous, AutoCAD will remember the last selected object and then highlight it.
In 2012, when you select objects then hit escape, then try to execute a command using P for previous, it will not highlight the previous object selected but will highlight the previous object where a command was executed on.
Hope I haven't lost you. It seems there should be a setting under SELECTION of how to manipulate the Previous selection feature.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I switched to PS CS3, I miss an important feature that I used often in PS 7. That is: the possibility to apply an adjustment layer to the previous layer only (in PS 7: Ctrl+G). In the layer panel, a little down arrow appeared at the left of the layer row to indicate this link.
In PS CS3, I can group layers (Ctrl+G), but adjustment layers apply to the whole picture, even if grouped. But how to apply an adjustment layer to one layer?
If I am working on a layer, then select a new layer to work on, then paint on that layer, then undo: the brush stroke is undone, but also the previous layer I was working on re-becomes the active layer. I want it to stay on the new layer I selected. Is there an option for this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??
I want to edit on a certain layer, for example layer 1: My current layer happens to be layer 2, so: I click on layer 1 to make it current. I do the editing & it isn't quite what I want, so I undo theaction. As I undo the action, CS6 also undoes my layer change (i.e makes tolayer 2 current again) even though I want layer 1 to remain the current one. Is there any way to change this in edit preferences or somewhere?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was messing around in CS6 and accidentally selected "conver to smart object" on one of the layers. So now with layering multiple layers, I can't just select the areas once and use Gaussian blur. I would need to keep re-selecting all the areas for ALL the textures. It's because the layers have become smart objects.
How can I undo my layers being smart objects? I want to just have the regular layers and only want to use the same selection (with the lasso tool) once to erase multiple layers of textures I don't want?
Here is an image so you can see what I am talking about. I don't want ANY smart layers on there. I Just want to do gaussian blur on the layers themselves.
I double click a layer name to change it, it brings up layer style box instead.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I, or can I apply a specific layer to a specific command?? When I choose the dimension command, i want it to automatically become my "Dim 1" layer without having to select it, then select the layer. Is this possible??
View 7 Replies View RelatedA company I used to work for had a custom set of dimensioning tools in the tool palettes. We had issues with people dimensioning on the wrong layers and they included an instruction(?) in these custom commands to dimension using the correct layer i.e. current layer set to 'Border', select custom linear dim command and dim is drawn in 'Dimension' layer.
My question is, what to add to the macro in the properties when creating such a command button to do this? ^C^C_dimlinear <add something here to use a specific layer?>

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to delete a unused layer. But when I do that I get the following error (see attachment). I googled a bit and figured out that the LAYDEL command might solve my issue, but as I'm using Autocad 2013, that's not possible, as it doesn't have this command...
The block that causes the error can also be deleted, I tried with the purge command, but must be doing something wrong cause it didn't work. Oh yeah, with regard to the purge command, I see it this way (attachment 2), how can you display it in a window kind of view to get a better overview?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Layer named "Arch - Niveau 1".I would like to enter in the command prompt "a1"..It would read if the layer is frozen or thawed and if it is frozen, it will thaw it?
And if the layer is thawed, it would freeze it..What could be added is: To check up if the layer exists and if not, create it.Would do the same for 2 other layer named "Arch - Niveau 2" command "a2" and "Arch - Niveau 3" command "a3". Is it clear?Now the lisp I've found and modified is this:
(defun c:a1 (/ lay ldef flag) (setq layn "Arch - Niveau 1") (command "_.LAYER") (if (not (tblsearch "LAYER" layn)) (command "_Make" layn) (progn (setq ldef (tblsearch "LAYER" layn) flag (cdr (assoc 70 ldef))) (and (= (logand flag 1) 1) (command "_Thaw" layn)) )) (command ""))
This lisp looks if it exists, if not, create it and only thaw the layer.
I'm not enough familiar with the "not", the "progn" the "flag", "and" and "logand" (!!!!)
