NAMED LAYER FILTERS IN 2006

[BITDRAUGHTY]

HOW DO I REMOVE NAMED LAYER FILTERS IN AUTOCAD 2006?

I HAVE A DRAWING IN 2006 AND WHEN I CHECK THE LAYER FILTERS IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE NONE TO REMOVE.HOWEVER WHEN I TAKE THE DRAWING INTO 2002 LT THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF USLESS GUMPH IN THE NAMED LAYRER FILTERS BOX THAT CAN BE REMOVED ....

ALSO CREATING YOU OWN T :? OOL BARS SEEMS TO BE ALOT MORE LONG WINDED IN 2006 CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WORKS ALSO .

THANK YOU

Were's a lsp for ver 2000i, but works on 05, so I'm not sure about 06. Load and start with the command LFD:

;;DELFILTERS.LSP DELETE LAYER FILTERS 1 (c) 2003 Mark H. Webb, PE
;;Mark H. Webb, PE


(defun C:LayerFiltersDelete ()
(vl-Load-Com)
(vl-Catch-All-Apply
'(lambda ()
(vla-Remove
(vla-GetExtensionDictionary
(vla-Get-Layers
(vla-Get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-Get-Acad-Object)
)
)
)
"ACAD_LAYERFILTERS"
)
)
)
(princ "\nAll layer filters
have been deleted.")
(princ)
)
(defun C:LFD () (C:LayerFiltersDelete))


Never worked with 06, so I'm guessing. 05 seems no different with the toolbars. Hover over a toolbar, right click, customize, Toolbar Tab, then new is you want a new toolbar or drag bottons to a existing toolbar. Custom flyout buttons have to be assciated with a group of regular buttons (non fly out's), so if its a flyout, create a new toolbar with all the buttons, then a second toolbar with the custom flyout. The first time you click on the flyout (while in the customizing mood) it should ask you to asssicate that flyout with a toolbar.
Hope thats what you need, is not just post back :)

Try the FILTERS command, undocumented, exposed at http://lynn.blogs.com/lynn_allens_blog/2005/05/autocad_2006_ti_1.html

tHANKS GUYS BUT I DONT THINK THAT I AM ANY CLOSER.

i HAVE TRIED OPENING THE FILTERS COMMAND ( I HAD ALREADY FOUND THIS THROUGH SHEER FRUSTRATION ,TYPING IN RANDOM COMMANDS) ,BUT STILL NOTHING APPEARD.

YET WHEN I TAKE THE DRAWING BACK IN TO 2002lt IT IS ABSOLUTLY FULL OF THE LITTLE BLIGHTERS!!!

FRUSTRATING DOES NOT EVEN START TO EXPLAIN.!!! :twisted:

BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS

I've only been using 2006 for a week so this may not be the best way but.....

type cui and wait (a long time) to get the big dialogue screen.
click the + on "Partial CUI files"
right click on "CUSTOM" and select new¦toolbar (give it a name)

make sure "Command List" is showing
drag commands from the list onto your new toolbar

once a command is on the toolbar you can re-assign it's macro AND assign a new bitmap so you don't have a row of smiley faces :) :) :) :)

YOU DA MAN!!!!!!

Thank s very much for the input worked like a dream.

I cant stand all the unneccesary nonsence of standard tool bars and prefer to have just my own tools that i use on a regular basis so this has been a real help .

Thank very much

:D

glad to help. I only have "layers" and 2 of my own toolbars showing. I prefer to type everything at the command line and have a bigger viewing area.
