disable "the current layer will be off"

[raymarcher]

How can I disable the "the current layer will be off" popup when hiding layers? I found this:

but I'm afraid the expert command is only valid for commands

Please take a look to EXPERT system variable. By setting it to 1 may solve your issue.

No. Not from the manager, AFAIK

 

You can avoid it by using -LAYER with EXPERT=1.

Indeed not from the manager, and also not from other buttons, are there other workarounds possible? I can't find much on it. Perhaps I will have to make a keyboard shortcut with the command.

Have your lisp or macro set layer 0 current first, then freeze, etc, the layers.

Before it was part of AutoCAD, it was an Express Tool and was never part of the Expert. Though as Express Tool was made up from LISP, you could modify the LISP not to show the warning. No such luck now, though I did a search around the WWW on the problem and another possibility is to find the old LISP from Express Tools and modify and set it up to be the one you use.

 

AFAIK this was a common complaint from day one and Autodesk still did not modify the code before integrating the layer tools into AutoCAD or at the least allow Expert to suppress the warning.

Thanks for the input, the fastest way to deal with this right now is to hit space directly confirming the dialog.
