Group Filters

[FazBear]

Hi all

I'm using AutoCAD 2008

Just wanting to know if anyone knows if it is possible to freeze and thaw a group filter using the command line. Is a bit a bind having to access the Layer Manager to do this. any comments will be appreciated.

Thank you!

LAYISO might help?

Thank you for your reply

What i am trying to do is freeze/thaw layer group filters and layer property filters using the command line so i can write the command string into a macro. Problem is when you type -layer into your command line you don't get the option for changing group/property filters.

Not sure but I think that filter and group of layer can be managed only from the layer manager.
Never see other ways to do that

Niether have i but i would really benefit from being able to freeze and thaw group/property filters from a macro, preferably a toggle button.

Have you tried "vplayer", which allows the freezing and thawing of objects in viewports and can be written out ... instead of filters, you'll need to do wildcard which is common in the filter, such as

[A-Wall-Iden On]^C^CVPLayer Thaw Current Thaw A-Wall-Iden ;;

OR use "-La" with wildcards ("*") =

"[Flrpln Walls Wdws Doors]^C^C-La On A-wall,A-Wall-Open,A-Gla*,A-door,A-Flor-Hral, Off A-Glaz-Iden ;"
