beardking Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Up until about 6 months ago I've been on 2004. Then I upgraded to 2009 and have been mostly happy with the upgrade (just wish I had more time to work on learning the new features of it). Then, today comes along. In 2004, if I was in model space and saved a Layer State, then when I switched to paper space, I could restore that Layer State and all would be golden. Does anyone have any suggestions, know what I'm missing, have any clue what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Beardking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm assuming you cannot do the same in 2010. What, if anything, does happen? This should still work fine. Are you referring to LayerStates or the old Express Tool LMan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardking Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm referring to Layer States. If I make a layer state while in a layout (not within a viewport) that turns off and freezes certain layers, it has no effect on the viewports at all. The only way I can affect the viewports is to click into them and restore the model space Layer State within that viewport. Which, of course, means if I have multiple viewports, then I would have to do that in each viewport (assuming I wanted the same result in each). Another complication to add to this is that not everyone in our office is on 2009 yet, so that only adds to the confusion. As for how it works in 2010, not sure. I haven't used 2010 yet (and since not everyone in our office is even on 2009 yet, I don't think I will be anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
