Unreconciled layers, again and again.

[BuntyBunty]

Greetings All,

 

I keep getting an 'unreconcilled layers' notices prior to printing. I know how to reconcile the layers but it seems that every time I open a drawing where I have already reconcilled the layers, they need reconciling again. Surely I should only have to reconcile the layers once and then the problem should go away but I am finding that this is not the case. I am using xrefs in Acad2008.

 

Many thanks.

 

BB.

Try adding LAYEREVAL, LAYEREVALCTL and/or LAYERNOTIFY to your acad.lsp file, and ensuring their values are all set to 0 (zero)

You can open layer properties manger then click on settings. (Probaly somewhere on the lower left side of the pane)

 

Then uncheck the 'New Layer Notification' at the top.

I cannot take credit for the whole code but just the modification. this will create a script to batch reconcile unreconciled layers

 

;; reconcile all unreconciled layers

(defun c:reclayers

(/ UserFile UserCat FileList File#1 DwgName FileName)

(vl-load-com)

(setq UserFile

(getfiled "Select a drawing within the directory to process"

"j:/"

"dwg"

16

)

)

(setq UserCat (vl-filename-directory UserFile))

(setq FileList (vl-directory-files UserCat "*.dwg" 1))

(setq File#1 (open "c:/program files/cpmelec/scripts/reclayers.scr" "w"))

;; open/make a scriptfile to write to

(foreach DwgName FileList

(setq FileName (strcat "\"" UserCat "\\" DwgName "\""))

(princ "open\n" File#1)

(princ (strcat FileName "\n") File#1)

;;Below are commands to run on each drawing...

(princ "-LAYER E *\n" File#1)

(princ "\n" File#1)

(princ "_.qsave\n" File#1)

(princ "_.close\n" File#1)

)

(close File#1)

)

(princ "\nreclayers loaded.")

(princ "\nType reclayers to run")

forgot one thing, change this line to where you want your script file located and.or change name of script file

 

(setq File#1 (open "c:/program files/cpmelec/scripts/reclayers.scr" "w"))
