CadBrat Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 i imported a dwg into a dwt. but now some of my linework & hatch are on the same layer as my gEarth raster. I want to move them to their own new layer (so I can manipulate them in 3D). However, everytime i try to create a new layer in the L. Manager, i get the error msg, "New Layer Created Does Not Match Current Layer File". well, so what? i tried turning off my current layer file & that didn't help. ok-- thx. all. (i'm using Help, searching this site & trying not to post too much stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Layer "file"? You sure that is what it says? -Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadBrat Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 good catch. that's "layer file". thx. still, i haven't been able to figure out how to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 What was the catch? I was asking if it really says layer "file" (or is it layer "state" or layer "key style" (I have not heard of a layer "file"). Perhaps you could post a screenshot of the error message? -Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadBrat Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 whoops. very sorry. i'm pretty tired from days of working on this stuff. appreciate your tenacity, buzz. ok. so what it Really says (& it was a good catch) is: "A new layer was created that does not match current filter". & little Layer 1 & 2 & 3 Laugh @ me from the the layer Properties Mgr box until i click the error msg & then each stinking new Layer disappears in turn like drunk teenagers hurling mudballs on Halloween when i close the error msg. not sure how to send a screenshot right now b/c my screenshot gizmo busted. tried to paste it here...wa wa wa. well, thx. again!

buzz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 No sweat - verify that your layer filter is set to "All" -Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 By the way, to do a screenshot you can hold down your windows key and then press the Print Screen or PrtScn Key, then open Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint) and paste (Edit > Paste or Ctrl-V). Alternatively, you could press Alt+PrtScn, which will take a screenshot of only the current active program (the windows key will take a screenshot of the entire screen). -Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borsdodas Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 my cousin is a photoshop pro, how easy would it be for them to learn CAD, would it help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadBrat Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 thanx, borsdodas. for the record, Buzz's suggestion above did the trick perfectly-- i must have let him know in a different string. i dunno about your cuz-- depends on what he wants to do... i see that you do 3D Max though-- that program rocks! (i'm just beginning to acquaint myself w/ aCAD'09 & its 3D capabilities.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
