Layers with commands

[Honda Matt]

I have set up my standard commands to use a certain layer, ie

~Dimension command swithces to my Dimension layer

~Leader command switches to my Text layer

 

I don't have my Line command set to any layer. I switch layers before drawing a line. I like drawing lines on different layers as needed. I don't like the default to be the Object layer.

 

Is it possible to have a pop menu open when I select a command to choose a layer?

 

I would like to set a second line command with that feature.

 

Thanks

Matt

Do you mean the layer properties menu?

A couple of different ways you can have a toolbar or menu that has the object preset pick and get change layer now draw a line.

^c^c-la s kerb Line

The other way is to pick an existing object and the command is issued to create a new object exactly the same its uses a lisp trying to find original post here maybe at Theswamp. I think it was called copy object.lsp.

The absolute best way is to simply use Tool Palettes. Just drag/drop the LINE command from the CUI over to a Tool Palette. Right-click > Properties the newly placed Line Tool. From there, you can preset to what Layer you want it on. Copy/Paste the Line Tool as many times as needed on the Tool Palettes, and continue to add the necessary layers.
