Layer Isolate

Thanks for that ron, I noticed that it isolates the layer selected in the xref, and also the layer that the xref is 'placed' onto. Is that how it should work ?

That is exactly how it should work. If the layer that the xref resides on gets frozen, then everything else underneath it freezes too. :shock: That is was LAYISO does.

That was a super lisp routine. Just one more thing. Right now our engineers are using AutoCAD LT, is there a way to make the routine work on LT?

 

Lisp does not work with LT.

I know this is an old topic. The iso routine is amazing. Could you isolate it with an mleader inside modelspace and then a nested layer within the xref?

There are a few options.  You could just turn off the XREF's temporarily (unload)

Then isolate the layers you want. 

when done with your work, reload the XREF.

 

Another method is in the layer properties manager.

On the left hand side you will see layers associated with the XREF in its own sub-tier.

You can turn all of those off at once by right clicking that tier and "visibility - off" or freeze those XREF layers if the XREF is sizable (clears up more active memory space)
