    Layer States

    Hi Everyone,

     

    Thank you all for all the help you have give me on my previous posts, it is greatly appreciated.

     

    I am not that familiar with Layer States and how you can save them... or change them for that matter.

    In the dwg i am currently working on, someone has created a Layer that has all the info on it... But when i click on the Layer Pull-Down menu, i am only able to see the one layer that everything is saved to...

    Is there a way i can see all the layers when i click on the Layer Pull-Down menu?

     

    Or is there a better way to navigate between different layers?

     

    I look forward to any help you can give me.

     

    Cheers

     

    Steve

    Think of layer state as a restore point.

    Some layers Off, some On, Colors, Linetypes.......save it with a name

    then have some more Layers, different colors,   etc........         save it with another name.

     

    Very usefull when you have a project in many phases (Demo, new, addition....)

    Go into the layer manager and pick All to show all layers, exit.  Now try the layer pull down you refered to.
