The layer verification windows are nuisance

Hello Everyone

I am using AutoCad 2002 and I have two questions please:

Question 1: When I move an object to a frozen or turned off layer, a window comes up telling me that these objects are being moved to those two layers. Also a window comes up at times telling me that the current layer is turned off. Then I have to stop and click "Ok" to verify with the computer that I understand what is happening. It is a simple click but when you are moving fast, it is an annoying interruption. Is there a way to turn off these messages?

Question 2: One of my favorite layer tools is the one where you click on an object and that object's layer turns off. That's a lot faster than sorting through the layer window. In previous versions of AutoCad, I made my own macro for this. Some versions even included a toolbar icon for this feature. But in ACad 2002, I cannot make this happen. I even tried taking an existing icon and rewriting its macro. That did not work either. Maybe I did not do it correctly. Could someone help please?

1. Set EXPERT to a larger number, that reduces the warning messages, but not sure which ones...

Or, these steps to enable/turn off messages:

1.On the Tools menu, click Options.

2.In the Options dialog box, click the System tab.

3.Under General Options, select the Show All Warning Messages option. (or remove check)

4.Click Apply .

2. if you have Express tools installed you have lots of layer management commands:

LAYCUR Changes the layer of selected objects to the current layer

LAYDEL Permanently deletes layer from drawing, even if it contains objects

LAYFRZ Freezes layers of selected objects

LAYISO Isolates layers of selected objects

LAYLCK Locks layer of selected object

LAYMCH Changes the layer of selected objects to the layer of a selected destination object

LAYMRG Merges two layers, and removes the first layer from the drawing

LAYOFF Turns of layers of selected objects

LAYON Turns on all layers in drawing

LAYOUTMERGE Combines specified layouts into the current layout

LAYTHW Thaws all layers in drawing

LAYULK Unlocks layers of selected object

LAYUNISO Turns on all layers that were turned off by the last LAYISO command.

LAYVPI Isolates an object's layer to the current viewport

Plenty of macros and lisp routines can be found at cadalyst magazine in their CAD Tips section.
