Connect Project Tech Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi All, Not sure if any of you have had this problem but, here goes. Every time I select something & change its colour or even layer it doesn't seem to work. I can change it form the properties sidebar, but its annoying that everything is drawn on layer 0 as black rather than what's set up - even the line types don't work! Also, when something's selected the commands wont work - I have to initiate the command first then select them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila The Gel Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Select the layer or linetypes you wan't to work with first and then start drawing, If you forget to switch layers you can 'matchprop' after your done drawing. this is faster than selecting everyting and then setting them on the right layer or linetypes. Which commands are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 What is PICKFIRST set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connect Project Tech Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 something's not right, I cant freeze layers in the viewport now! Pickfirst is set to 0 And no matter what my layers are set to, its all on layer 0 when I draw - I cant have something on a right layer to match it! Curse!

enion Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have this problem with layers, sometimes when i use layers from another drawing, in my drawing, the properties of layers doesnt take effect, e.x. if i want to change the thickness or the color of the layer they doesnt take effect. Why?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Click on an entity and check it's Properties. Make sure that "Color" and "Linetype" are both set to ByLayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What ever happened to the Idea of putting "DOES PICKFIRST=1" as a header at the top of the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
