Unreconciled New Layers

I recently switched to AutoCAD 2008. I would like to remove the "Unreconciled New Layers" notification popup each time I open any drawing. I tried changinng the system variable, but does not seem to work.

If you don't already have an acaddoc.lsp file, open Notepad and input these lines:

(setvar "LAYEREVAL" 0)

(setvar "LAYERNOTIFY" 0)

Then SaveAs acaddoc.lsp to your C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008\Support folder.

Now, whenever you open a new drawing, those two variables will be set and you won't get the annoying pop-ups anymore.

What is the thinking behind this 'unreconcilied new layers'? It seems to be more annoying than useful???

These are layers that have been migrated from other files via copying of entities from other drawings, the layers on these copied entities are the unreconciled layers.

They are segregated from the original layers found in the dwt file.

for me, I cant see any advantage of this either, rather than just knowing what new layers were included in your current dwg file. I always just reconcile them.

and yes,,, sometimes it could be more annoying than useful

Well I'm going to use Cad64's lisp routine from now on I'm thinking, though, that there must be some other reason. For example, if you attach an Xref with just 1 layer to a new drawing, that Xref layer is listed as unreconciled. However, I would be able to see easily from it's appearence in the layer dialogue box that it was not part of my current dwg file.
