Enigma Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Does anyone else have an issue with isolating a layer (any layer other than one that contains a hidden line type), and then having the hidden layer appear behind it when attempting to initiate a command? Attached is an example. The first image shows my drawing with object layer isolated. But as soon as I enter some type of editing command (move, rotate, etc), in this case copy, my hidden layer appears (see second image). In my LAYISO settings, I have it set to lock and fade, but it does not lock unless I manually set my hidden layer to lock in the layer co[ATTACH=CONFIG]37450[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]37451[/ATTACH]mmand.

Dadgad Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Perhaps you should just use the OFF option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod684 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 same here. i suggest you use the OFF option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 You mised the point. Yes I could use the off option, but it's another step I'd prefer not to do when that is what the layer isolation command is suppose to, eliminate those extra steps of turning layers off.

Enigma Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I may have confused the issue a bit, I was thinking that the Autocad "layiso" command does the same thing as the old lsp routine I use. The lsp routine I use (written originally for R14 or even older) turns off all layers except your current one, making short work of editing things on your current layer. I never used to have any issues with it, and can't recall exactly when this particular phenomenon first appeared. The route is as follows: (DEFUN C:OFA () (SETVAR "CMDECHO" 0) (PROMPT "Turning all but current Layers OFF: ") (COMMAND "LAYER" "OF" "*" "") ) (DEFUN C:ONA () (SETVAR "CMDECHO" 0) (PROMPT "Turning all Layers ON: ") (COMMAND "LAYER" "ON" "*" "") ) (DEFUN C:OFEG (/ A2 B2 L1 L2 L3 L4) (GRAPHSCR) (PROMPT "SELECT ENTITY ON LAYER TO TURN OFF ") (TERPRI) (SETQ A2 (ENTSEL)) (SETQ B2 (ENTGET (CAR A2))) (SETQ L1 (ASSOC 8 B2)) (SETQ L2 (CDR L1)) (SETQ L3 (SUBSTR L2 1 1)) (SETQ L4 (STRCAT L3 "*")) (PROMPT "Turning Entity layer group OFF :") (COMMAND "LAYER" "OF" L4 "") ) (DEFUN C:OF (/ LN NL CL) (GRAPHSCR) (SETQ LN (GETVAR "CLAYER")) (SETQ NL (SUBSTR LN 1 1)) (SETQ CL (STRCAT NL "*")) (PROMPT "Turning off all but current layer group : " ) (COMMAND "LAYER" "OF" "*" "N" "ON" CL "") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyde Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What everyone is saying is that the settings in layiso has an off option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 That option doesn't work either, hidden layer still appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Enigma, Please read the CODE POSTING GUIDELINES and edit your post. Layiso works fine on my AutoCAD 2011. Are these blocks? Can you post the drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
