Hi all,

I am now trying to create a template for building coordination.

 

Let's say, In model space, I have 6 Layer, 2Layout

Layers:

1. Wall Layout

2. Column Layout

3. Wall/Column description

4. Chair Layout

5. Table Layout

6. Furniture Description

Layout:

1. Archi Layout

2. Furniture Layout

 

In model Space, I could set up 2 kinds of layer state to clearly show the items I want to know. e.g.

Archi Layer Status -

1. Wall Layout - Green

2. Column Layout - Red

3. Wall/Column description - Yellow

4. Chair Layout - Gray, Locked

5. Table Layout - Gray, Locked

6. Furniture Description - Gray, Locked, Frozen

 

Furniture Layer Status -

1. Wall Layout - Gray, Locked

2. Column Layout - Gray, Locked

3. Wall/Column description - Gray, Locked, Frozen

4. Chair Layout - Red

5. Table Layout - Green

6. Furniture Description - Yellow

 

 

But When I try to create 2 Layout, (one for showing the Archi, one for showing the furniture), although I could use VP Frozen to frozen the unwanted layer, I could not let each layout having difference color on the same layer. every time i change the color of the layer, it change globally that every layout changes.

It there a setting I could use to do the task I needed?

If you can upgrade your AutoCAD, please note that in newer releases there is the VP Color property (available only when call LAYER command from a layout); it allows you to override the color. This feature is available also for linetype, lineweight and transparency.

May be my mind is still using Autocad 2010 that it enabled "Turn off function not found in 2010" lol
