Dimesions automatically added to the correct Layer

[kfonsy]

I apologize if there is a thread/post already on this question.

 

Can someone please tell me where I could find it.

been searching for almost an hour.

 

My quest: if your in a different layer working on adding walls for eg.

You want add a dimension to that wall. When I hit DLI, How do I make sure that

the dim i just entered goes directly to the DIM layer instead of the wall layer.

 

Thank you.

One solution will be to use a custom AutoLISP routine:

;;; Ensure that linear dimensions go to dedicated layer instead of current one (07-II-2013)
(defun c:DLI( / oldLayer newLayer )
(setq oldLayer (getvar "CLAYER")
      newLayer "DIM")
(if (tblsearch "LAYER" newLayer) (setvar "CLAYER" newLayer))

(command "DIMLINEAR")
(while (> (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 0)
 (command pause)
)

(setvar "CLAYER" oldLayer)
(princ)
)
