    Default Accidentally dimensioning in defpoint layer

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm in the middle of dimensioning a working drawing not knowing that I am in the defpoint layer. Is there an easier way to detect and change to a different layer instead of clicking one by one to determine what layer it was created.

    Thanks,

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    I don't know what version of acad you are running, but try typing LAYWALK at the c-prompt. It is an express tool that will activate a layer manager type of dialog box that allows you to step thru your layers by clicking on the name. All other layers in the drawing will freeze and only the one you selected will be visible.

    I'm not sure what version it first showed up in.

    Why don' t you just move your dimensions to the correct layer?
