Dimensions on a certain layer

Hello

Does any know how (if possible) i can change my settings so that if im working on a particular layer, if i draw a dimension it will automatically be on my preferred dimensions layer and not the one im working with? this was pretty straight forward on MicroStation.

Ta.

Yes, I believe it can be done working off of a tool palette.

Just click on a dimension and drag it to the toolpalette on the toolpalette right click the dimension and choose properties there you can change the layer. This also works with Multiline text. Almost with everything you drag on it.

Lee Mac has a wonderful little lisp called LAYER DIRECTOR on his sight which will place items on seemingly appropriate layers, even create the layers in your choice of colors should they not yet exist. I use it for dimensions, viewports, text and leaders. It uses a reactor which changes to the layer you want when you choose a tool such as a dimension, and after placing it on the designated layer it returns to the layer you were on before you created it. I love this, thank you LEE!

This is my "Layer switch". Every buttons got code changing to proper layer.

From now on all my office is running Lee "Layer Director" - most of them is keyboard guys.

Thank you Dad gad for pointing me in this direction.

Thank you Lee. Will buy you beer next time because you get drunk.

Just make sure you put it in all of their STARTUP SUITES, so they don't even need to call it, you'll be glad you did. They probably won't even notice.

I have been using Layer Director as well, works very well and easy enough to add your own commands to the routine. Nicely done Lee.
