jkristia Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm trying to understand the functionality of the layer group, but it doesn't seem to work like what I would expect. And yes, I have read help and looked in Mastering AutocAD, but still, I'm sure I'm missing something. I would expect the layer group to be a short cut for selecting a specific set of layers. Lets say I have F1 and F1-Dim for first floor and F2 and F2-Dim for second floor Now I have created a group F1 and a group F2 (no problem creating the group). What I don't get is how I can quickly switch from one group to another group. It seems like I will have to select F2, thaw, activate layer, then select F1 and freeze all layers. This to me seems a bit complicated (too many clicks to just enable a grouped list of layers). #1 - So what did I miss - how can this be done by 1 (maybe 2) click? The second question. I have a view port for first flor and a view port for second floor. I know how to freeze layers per viewport, but the layers are always required to be enabled in the model, else they wont show in the viewport. #2 - is there a way to force a layer enabled in a view port - even if it is frozen in the model ?

ReMark Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Freeze a layer in the model but have it appear in a viewport? I don't think that is possible. How about working with Layer States? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkristia Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not sure about layer states, I will have to read about that. How about question #1 - any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Have you tried the Layer Freeze command? Not sure if it works with Groups or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
