    Layer commands

    Hello to everbody,

    i have some questions regarding layer commands:

     

    since the LAYON and LAYTHW commands are not supported in Autocad for MAC - are there any commands to replace them?

     

    Is there a system varible that can control the fade affect when using LAYISO?

     

    I use a very usefull lisp in Autocad for windows that locks all layers but selected ones - and unlocks them - does any body have a similar lisp for MAC?

     

    Thanks for all your help,

    Hagay

    Try Some Layer Tools For AutoCAD For Mac from my blog.

    LAYISO and LAYUNISO works fine in AC for Mac for these purposes. After calling LAYISO command, select "Settings" option, then select "Lock and Fade", confirm (or modify) fade settings, then proceed with LAYISO command as usual. Settings for LAYISO are stored in AutoCAD globally, so you don't need to change it again.

    dear Maxim,

     

    Thank you very much for the quick replay,

    the layiso related commands are working for me!

    your lisp is very useful
