C3D created P&P sheets that do not include layer filters.

[doni49]

We have one template that we use for starting all our drawings.  This contains all of our layers, layer filters and most commonly used blocks.

Then we have a template file called "Titleblocks" -- this contains one layout for each different size border as well as vport definitions for Plan, Profile or P&P.

When I used the C3D P&P tool to create my sheets, it of course used the Titleblocks template which means that the filters are lost.  Is there a relatively simple way to add those filters to my sheets?  Each sheet is a layout in a separate dwg file.

TIA!

Hi Don,

I remember you asking a related question in the AutoCad forum a while back.

If I'm understanding that you wish to import some layer filters into your plan sheets you can do so using the built in layer filter export & import commands Here.

We have them in our dwt's used for Plan Production sheet creation and they come in with each sheet automatically.

WOW!  Great memory! 

I had forgotten all about even asking.  Shortly after asking the question, the project got put on hold and I was reassigned to other tasks.  So I haven't been able to touch it.  I just recently got back on it again.

I appreciate your time!

I've used the commands to save the filters out and then import them into one of my sheets.

All the filters are there -- but they're all BLANK (undefined).

Here's the properties dialog box for one of the filters in the source file:

The properties dialog for the same filter but in the sheet file:

All the filters are like this.

Anyone have any ideas?
