reyems Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I am trying to merge two layers on a drawing (that came from someone else). I can go through all the steps and it even gives me the warning right before the merge. However, when complete nothing has merged. I have checked that all layers are unlocked. I have tried it on other layers that I didn't even want to merge and I have created new layers, placed geometry and tried to merge them. Nothing happens. I opened a new drawing, created layers and geometry and the layer merge works fine. Is there some generic lock that could have been placed on the drawing to prevent layer merging. I do have the ability to highlight objects and move them to a different layer in this drawing, but then purge will not delete the layer. And it doesn't seem to matter whether the object is a block or pure geometry. Sorry for the long narrative...just trying to give as much info as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Just one question: The initial layer that you are trying to merge from, is that layer set to be current ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyems Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 It originally was not, although I tried both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have problems like this frequently when receiveing drawings from customers created in different Autocad versions. I usually copy and paste the drawing into a "fresh" drawing started from scratch in my version of Acad, and the problems usually correct themselves. Give it a try.
