Can't Create Layers

Anyone know how to create layers with
autocad 2000 using a laptop? I can't get to the bottom
of the layers dialogue box to click save.

I would turn up the video resolution...

But you can always use the command line version -LAYER (note the leading
hyphen) (tip: If you do a -LAYER and then N for new you can place commas in
between layer names e.g.: Layer1,Layer2,Layer3 without any spaces)

Hi,

 

Maybe you should try to increase the "layer
properties manager"-window by simply dragging the borders.

 

regards

Uh, I don't think he wants to "increase" the size of the dialog...

See lisp routine below. This will create a new layer and set it as current.


(defun C:LM ()
(setq name (getstring
"\nEnter the new layer name: "))
(setq col (getstring
"\Enter the color for the new layer: "))
(command "Layer" "m" name "c" col name "")
(princ)
)

That particular window will not allow
me to drag the borders.

There is a minimum screen resolution requirement: below that and you cannot
use the Layer dialog box. Try -LAYER command instead (note the dash).
