Legend

Hi guys

I have a problem (obviously)

I have a legend (a block) which I copied from one drawing into another.

I think it also brought the layer which it was on in the original drawing too. When I want to turn this layer off, only part of the legend disappears while the rest (the icons) remain. If I select one of these objects they show as belonging to the layer which shows as being turned off.

I have tried creating a different layer and moving the legend to there did not solve my problem, it still happens.

Any ideas?

And yes I did try explode it and placing each object on the new layer but still nothing.

I know you said you exploded the block (the legend) but are the icons also a block

Rather than explode the block, go into BEDIT, change all the block to layer 0 and save. When you PURGE after this does the unwanted layer disappear?

Sparky - Yes the icons were also a block and I did explode them and try allocate them to the right layer but no luck.

GE - I will try that and report back. Thanks

Freeze the layer instead of turning it off it

A block on a frozen layer will not be redrawn when AutoCAD regenerates regardless of the layers contained in it
