As we know we can freeze a layer on VP level. Is there any way to turn a layer on/off, on the block level?
Let's say, you have "Text" layer. You make a block out of other blocks (nesting blocks) which they contain objects on "Text" layer but you don't need those objects on your new block and on just that block you want to turn them off.
I have a single plan referenced in twice (one mirrored from the other) as this is a duplex. I need to turn a level on in one Plan that I do not wish to be on in the other Plan.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a rule that turns off all work geometry and sketches of an assembly and all referenced parts and assemblies.
This rule is almost perfect.
When i run the rule. All sketches and work geometry are turned off. But sketches in sub assemblies remain visible in the top assembly. When i open the document of the sub assembly the sketches are off.
So what I see is a top assembly 'override' of sketch visibility inside sub assemblies
How can I turn off visibility of a sketch on a level higher?
How can I turn it off permanently? Or change the default to off? It's always on when I open my drawings.
I save the files with it off, but when I reopen, it's still on. A real pain in the butt when plotting since if I batch plot, all of my contours are off, which eliminates using batch plot entirely. Luckily, I only have 5 figures at the moment, but once we get to design phase I will have many more and require batch plotting.

I want to create a block that has the level # on top of the little triangle thingy (yes, highly technical terms are in use), that will automatically resize BOTH the size of the text and the size of the triangle depending on which scale I'm in.
At the moment I can figure out how to make the TEXT (aka the #) annotative, but the triangle stays the same size no matter what scale I'm in. Not only that, but then the text doesn't stay consistently next to the triangle symbol when I change scales.
I want a block where BOTH the Text size for the level AND the triangle symbol itself will always be correct, regardless of what scale my viewport is in. Aka, I put a level symbol for +5.72 in the correct position in Model Space. In Paper Space, my 1:50 viewport and my 1:100 viewports are EACH showing the +5.72 triangle level sign, in the correct place, with the triangle and text being the correct size.
Every time I launch Xara, I want the page and layer gallery to be at "layer level" mode, however it is only showing it at "page level" mode. Is there a way to make it default to layer level? It can get pretty redundant to have to click on that page to open it every time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to ask if by chance any of the scripting gurus here happen to have written an AI script that will take a number of selected sublayers/sub-sublayers and move them so they become top-level layers?
I am really needing this very badly, given that After Effects can only handle AI layers as separate entities. So I find myself moving tens, even hundreds of nested sublayers to the top level all the time.
Is it possible this script exists already?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing where I need to open the layer manager to turn on a layer in a view port but cannot get to that particular column. As you look across the top of the layer manager I can see all the headings of each column beginning with "Name", "Status", "On" and so forth. The last column heading I see is "Description" but I need to go even further to the right to get to the column I need to be at but can't get there. There is no scroll button on the bottom of the layer manager which would allow me to do that.

I type in the command ( I'm an old school typer, hate the buttons ) BLOCK....then the next thing that happens is (after hitting enter of course), my crosshairs instantly turn into the Windows arrow.
I wasn't playing with any switches. I was just trying to make a little block with a number in it.
Yes, I restarted AutoCAD, restarted the computer, did not reload in AutoCAD.....AutoCAD 2011 by the way.
I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I have to do a WBLOCK to make the blocks I need to bypass this odd behavior.

Difficult to explain this in the title hense I haven't found an answer with a google search.

There must be an easier way to do this?
