Liltygar Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We have changed the color, line weight and description of specific layers. We used to use Layer state to update the layers, now we use the design center. Changes made in Example 1. Example 2 has the wrong layers - so Design center is open, layers from Example 1 are dragged and dropped into Example 2. Layers still wrong. Example1.dwg This is the Example 1.

jnoltremari Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You probably need to purge all layers first. If you drag in layers that have the same name, AutoCAD will keep the current layer properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamensterms Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Not sure exactly what you are aiming for.. But a simple LISP routine to set up layers can be very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoltremari Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have a macro that fixes layer colors. You could use something like this, adjusted to exactly what you need. ^C^C-LAYER;C;30;am_0_object;C;CYAN;am_1_object_1;...and so on.... Then again, as 'lamensterms' stated, I'm not sure I know what you're aiming for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Design Center will not update the layer properties of layers that are present in the drawing. Layer Translator will do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
