How to lock visible layers by sheet designation?
amw01 posted a topic in AutoCAD Drawing Management & Output
Hi, I work at an architecture firm, in which we have many drawings, all with multiple sheets. (A1, A2, A3...etc.) I'm wondering, is there a way to lock which layers are visible based on the sheet you select? For instance, I want to prevent someone from accidentally turning on HVAC information on a plumbing plan, if they do not check which sheet they are currently working in. Is there a way to do this in a more permanent way, other than simply using the Freeze or thaw in current viewport button in the layer pulldown menu? I hope that's not too confusing. Thanks everyone! -
I have a plan view of a residential building. I want to remove some columns. I may need them later so I don't want to delete them. I want to move them to a new layer (layer name: hiddenObject) and turn this layer off to unshow them. When I move them and turn that layer off, first, the color of those objects didn't turn to layer's color and second they don't disappear. What is wrong with my procedure?
