I am trying to change some default layer settings. I go to: Toolspace -> Settings tab -> Right click the drawing name -> Edit drawing settings -> Object layers tab. There I can set the default layers that objects are created on. I want to set "General Note Label" and "General Segment Label" to be created on what ever layer is current. Is this possible?
Just like in older version of AutoCAD, layer 0 is a special layer, but it works a little different in C3D.
So what you do is change the layer of the label style to 0 and everything to byblock. this allows the entire note to take on the properties of the layer you change it to after the note is added.
I do have the label style layer set to 0, but I don't have everything set to byblock. Once the label is created and I change it's layer it does taken on the properties of the layer it is changed to. I was just looking for a quick easy way to get the labels onto the layers they should be on.
Do you have the label setup to go on layer 0 as well? 0 can use byblock and bylayer to set it on the layer the object is place on however, I believe the problem is when you drag it the leader goes on 0 (white or whatever you set 0 to).
Ya, the label is set to go to layer 0 in both the individual label style and the object layer settings. I tried setting everything to byblock, but it still ends up on layer 0 with all the properties of layer 0. I can change it to another layer and it works fine, but I was just hoping for something more automatic than that because we have some people that are not all that great with AutoCAD and I am trying to make things as easy for them as I can.
About the only way around this is to create a child of the main style for each layer you would want it on. Makes for a lot of general note styles so I just do it and hope that those doing the labeling will know which to set it on. However, I do make them go to a general note layer (i.e. C-ANNO-TEXT), but having everything on byblock and/or layer 0 in the actual style will allow the user to change them if needed.
I have found that the easiest way is to use the mentioned "0" layer, then
use the ET toolbar button, "Change to Current Layer".
