Reconcile Layers

[rookie37]

I have an annoying message about Reconcile Layers

I searched and found a thread about LAYERNOTIFY and LAYEREVAL

Is this local or global? Can I set my machine so all drawings ignor this message

Also, what are the different LAYERNOTIFY values?

[Dipali]

LAYERNOTIFY
Specifies when an alert displays for new layers that have not yet been reconciled.

0 Off
1 Plot
2 Open
4 Load/Reload/Attach for xrefs
8 Restore layer state
16 Save
32 Insert

LAYEREVAL seems to be linked to drawings only, I have to change it several times a day right now at least...

[NBC]

Both LAYERNOTIFY and LAYEREVAL are saved in each and every drawing.
They are not system specific.

Im in the same boat as you, just little things like that gets you very annoyed

[LCE]

Set LAYEREVAL 0 and LAYERNOTIFY 0 in your acaddoc.lsp
that way each time a drawing is opened, they will be turned off.

In it's defense, depeniding on the way you work, and size of projects, it can be a very useful tool, but it seems to be 1 of the things people automatically dislike rather than taking the time to see how it may be able to help you.

thanks Lee, didn't think of that.

And yeah, every function in AutoCAD are useful somwhere I suppose...

me too problem solved! you can never know it all

[LCE]

If possible, make sure acaddoc.lsp is in a centralised location, and ensure it is listed in the support paths.
on the other hand, if you don't care about your colleagues, then...

I'm changing job on friday so I know I don't :twisted:

It sounds like a few people are annoyed with this.

How do I write a lisp routine that will automatically:

setvar;LAYEREVAL;0;;LAYERNOTIFY;0;^c^c

[Cad64]

Just do as LCE suggested and add it to your acad2007doc.lsp

Here's the code:



(setvar "layernotify" 0)
(setvar "layereval" 0)

[rookie37]

I wrote a lisp program.

I'm not very good at programming and there is a lot better ways of doing it.

How do I make this load and fire automatically?


(DEFUN C:xxx () (COMMAND "setvar" "LAYERNOTIFY" 0 "" "" "setvar" "LAYEREVAL" 0 "" "")(princ))

Thank you! I'll try it
