KRBeckman Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hey Lee, I really like this, however I have one request. How hard would it be to change it so that after you select an object it allows you to select an additional object so that multiple layers can be isolated?

Lee Mac Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nice idea, but I'm not sure how the program should act after the user has selected the first object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRBeckman Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was thinking it would act how it does now, until you click an object. Once this is done, everything on that layer is highlighted, but everything else stays visible. Then when you hover another object on a different layer, just the objects on those two layers are visible until you click on the 2nd object, which would cause everything on the two layers to be highlighted while everything is still visible. And this would continue until the user enteres an exit command, maybe just hitting enter. Not sure if this make sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Code updated with Multiple Layer Selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRBeckman Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 You updated the code in the first post of this thread, right? Because when I run it, it still only allows me to select one object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phiphi Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi Lee, Your LISP is much better than using the command "layiso" but what about layers of Xrefs in a drawing that has some attached Xrefs? Can you please upgrade the LISP so that User can isolate any layer of Xrefs. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm glad you like the program Phiphi, However, with the current method of object detection and layer isolation, subentity layers are not detected, and hence only the layer on which the xref resides may be isolated (as per the layiso command).

Phiphi Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thank Lee, Can you please create a new code for isolating Xref's layers in a drawing that has some attached Xrefs. Many thanks. PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 You could select the objects within the xref using nentsel, and manipulate the layers accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRBeckman Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have one more request for the multiple layer version one... Is it possible to add the option to type "l" for the prompt and have it select the last created entity, kinda like how "stock" AutoCAD commands work?

antistar Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi Lee, His routine for one layer show this message in CAD2002: Command: AP APPLOAD HL.lsp successfully loaded. Command: Command: HL Move Cursor Over Objects, Click to Isolate Layer...Unknown command "LAYISO". Press F1 for help. Unknown command "HL". Press F1 for help.

I'm not 100% sure, but more than likely the LAYISO command is not avaliable in AutoCAD 2002, which is why its unknown. I don't have 2002 tho, so I can't verify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
