martinle Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Hello! Please excuse the bad English. My translator, Google Translate! I have a problem. I work with a fixed layer which color is associated values, not "ByLayer". It can have the same color on different layers. For example, the layer A can have the color A, but also the layer B can have the color A. In model space, I can very easily from the Express Tools to create "ssx" a selection set by color. This I can then at the command "isolate objects" use by "_P". So I have only those layers with the selected color on the screen. In the layout area, I can freeze with the command "Freeze" Layer in activated viewport. These are then no longer visible in the layout. But very well in model space. So you can preset the good layouts show only the desired layers. This is exactly what I try to be attained. Only fact "colors", "frozen" not "by layer" Is it even possible with the lisp in the layout with all the layers of one color are visible in model space but all the layers of color are independently visible. I just can not get past. I tried it already with the layer property filter. But it did not work. The only way that I would still see a lisp. Only here in the forum I can find nothing similar with which one could implement something like that. Please Help. I would be grateful for any tip. Greetings Martin Quote
BlackBox Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Am I correct in understanding that you want to freeze layers that contain a specific color (i.e., if the layer has entities that are color 1, even if layer color is 2) through your Viewport? Quote
alanjt Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 If I understand, you are trying to viewport freeze a particular set of objects that have a given color, regardless of layer. This cannot be done. You can't viewport freeze objects, only layers. Why are you fooling with changing color at the object level? Just make different layers. Quote
neophoible Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 OK, I'm going to try my hand at understanding. It sounds like you have layers that are assigned colors. Standard procedure. Some layers share the same color. Not unusual. For a given viewport, you want to be able to freeze all the layers of the same color in one swift move (e.g., by selecting one object on one layer of the given color), but without affecting layer/object visibility in model space or any other viewport. Is this correct? Quote
martinle Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 Hello friends! Please excuse if I answer only now. Thanks for your answers. "Neophoible" has understood exactly my plan. For the great advantage of "freezing" in the layouts but the effect is that the layers remain unchanged in the other layouts and model space. My goal is to achieve exactly the same effect in the layout by "freezing of color groups" that have the same color. But mind different layers have the same color or a color is assigned to different layers. Therefore, the normal is "freeze" in the layouts also not possible. "Acad" internally, I just found nothing to implement this project. Maybe one of you experts have an idea how this would be umzusezten. Or if that is not possible. Greetings and thanks in advance Martin Quote
