AutoCad :: Turn On And Shut Off Layers?
Jan 17, 2012What is this used for? From reading, it seems as though if you use this command it is a way to turn on and shut off layers?

View 6 Replies View Relatedmy gimp 2.8.6 makes majority normal layers turn into text layers..
Even if i "discard text information" from layer..and then save it as .xcf it doesnt work! Same layers appear as text layers when i open that .xcf Its not a big deal but it really slows me down when im working with layers..
I know there is a command/button to turn all layers back on if most of them are off, and you want them back on. I use it all the time.
My question: is there a similar command to turn them all off? If not, why not? It makes just as much sense to me. Sometimes I want to turn all of them off, and then just turn one back on.
can you turn off XREF layers? i have a set of drawings and in certain layouts, i need to remove layers.

The problem is when I turn off all the layers I am using and I leave the ones I'm not using on their is noting on my screen??? why they are their and why I can't get rid of them. I'm trying to keep everything neat and they're messing me up!!

If I want to trunoff/on some layers in different layouts, the best way is to use "vp freeze" column in layers properties manager. This way I can manipulate layers' visibility without altering them in MS or other layouts.
Left to "vp freeze" column there is "new vp freeze". I don't know what is this one?
I was wondering if it's possible to turn snap off on a set of layers whilst keeping it on for others?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a one drawing in MS with 5 layers.
I have 2 viewports in one layer tab from that drawing with different scales.
I want to turnoff 2 layers in one of the VP but have them turned on on the other VP.
I've "Binged" and "Googled" this for days, and have searched this forum internally with no luck.
I work primarily in GIS of a totally different platform than Auto Desk's offerings so my terminology may be tainted.

How can I tell AC to turn off any/all layers that are empty (i.e. have no objects, no block associations, no rasters etc).
I don't want to purge these empty layers as I will eventually need them.
Scenario:
All layers are turned on and visible, after I have purged empty layers that won't be needed, there are still empty layers left I will need to use later, I wish to turn off only these layers.
(There may be 20 or so layers so I was hoping for a programmatic way of doing this.)
I often draw over topography lines and use them for reference but I don't want to snap to them. Is there any way to view an object and turn off snapping only for that specific object or layer? For instance, can you make frozen layers visible somehow so they can be viewed, but not snapped to? Or is there another way to accomplish this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to turn off all the existing layers in active document. I have found in developer's guide how to turn off one layer with specified layer name but can not apply it on all layers with any layername.
I tried to get all the Object ID's in layer table and then for each object turn layer off but seems that it does not work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow to turn on/off the layers in a filter?
In our company we use standard layerfilters, so they should be the same name in every drawing (else its gonna be a good idea to do so).
If i know the command on how to turn off of on layers who are set in a filter i can make a macro to do it for me, but i dunno if there is an way to turn of those layers with an command.
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.

When working on the basement layer I would like to see that layer locked in turn not affecting my other layers, ie: my house/garage/second-floor.
Turn on/off layers in the current viewport only, I’m wondering if there is a command that can be plugged on the “quick access toolbar” by which one can turn on/off layers in the current viewport only.
The available command to do so is “Freeze and thaw in current viewport” (attached) and it sounds it can’t be plugged in the “quick access toolbar”!
Is there a way to plug the command “Freeze and thaw in current viewport” in the “quick access toolbar” (attached)?

I made an autocad file. with many xref files. there are layers. and the layers are all the same, only the name for the layer its the name of the xref link . but how can i turn it off at once.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI don't have this problem on all my files, only a select few. When i save a file and reopen, all the viewports in which I have frozen layers are all reset. All layers are turned back on and I have to go through every viewport and refreeze layers. This problem has persisted long enough that I unfortunately know when I close a file I will have to reorganize the layers next time I open the file. Is this a setting issue or this a bug in the file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old routine that freezes layers that are off. I would like it to also turn off layers that are frozen. It took a while but I think I figured out how the old routine works. I was having trouble determining how the routine would know if a layer was off or not. I found if the color was a negative number that meant the layer was off (cond ((< (dxf 62 l) 0) (command "f" (dxf 2 l)))). How do I tell if the layer is frozen?
I was also wondering what the character was after the DXF code ie. (dxf 62 l). Is is a lowercase L or an upper case i and what function does it have?
Below is the old routine that freezes layers that are off.
(defun c:fo (/ l dxf code list)
(defun dxf (code list)
(cdr (assoc code list))
);defun
(setq l (tblnext "layer" T))
[code].........
I have 2 quick questions:
1- How do I turn OFF the display of Layers in Layout viewports, but they remain ON in the Model?
2- How do I rotate a group of objects to match my orthogonal UCS?
In model space if i go to layers manager and turn off a layer why does it still show up in model space. Civil 3d 2013

View 3 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?
Just loaded Inventor 2012 on a new computer. It seems to work OK, I can open and close files with no problem, but as soon as I try to shut Inventor down It lock up. The only way to shut it down in using task manager. After I try to shut it down the normal way Inventor continues to consume memory, (memory usage reported in the task manager continues to increase in size)!
Also once it is terminated in task manager and then restarted, the Inventor memory usage reported in the task manager continues to increase in size with no files loaded? Never leveling off. I have monitored it for several minutes after starting it and it continues to steadily increase in memory usage.
Im running MEP 2013 and I shut off all of my osnaps including 3dosnaps..But one stays on...Its the connectors on MEP objects...How do I shut off those snaps as well?

The one you click to get the MRU list, the one you click twice to shut AutoCAD down? Is there a way to disable the shut down on 2nd click? I quite often click it once, wait for a couple of seconds with nothing happening so click it again only to watch AutoCAD disappear.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've only just started having a problem with Photoshop. I'm running it on Mac OSX
My images will randomly take a chunk out of all layers, and the background will turn black where it was originally white. In one case all the layers on my canvas were distorted by a checker pattern of bright colours. All the images I am currently working on are in RGB mode which were hand drawn black and white images that were scanned.
I'm not sure what is going on but closing the image without saving and the closing photoshop and even restarting my computer doesn't seem to fix the problem.
On the top of my Autocad display there is a "communication center" icon. So there is a constant connection with internet.
How can i shut down this connection ?
