Difference between in Layer assignment of MP drawings and Elevation drawings

Hi,

 

I had generated MP drawings and Elevation drawings with the same drawing style. Most of my settings in the ObjectPresentation are in "VisibleHiddenSystem". I've noticed that the outputs are not the same in terms of layer assignment and color.

 

MP Drawing: Generated using Drawing Process/Selected Assembly

1. All objects are in LAYER 0

2. Colors are correct based from Management tools/Defaults/Drawing-Presentation/Colors

 

Elevation Drawing: Generated using Drawing Process/Camera

1. Object are in different LAYERS according to their model role

2. Colors are based from layer colors.

 

Please see attached images where you see the difference of my outputs as well as the similarities of my settings in "Object Presentation".

 

How can I generate the whole structure with same colors like my MP drawings?

Problems exist because there are solutions to find out.

hi,

 

have you tried checking the layer table in the management tool?
Perhaps you just have un-select the set assigning the layers by role.

Hi,
there's a default in the Management Tools, which is called "Use modellayer in views" or something similiar (it's called different in german 😃
Or you have a look directly in the database: AstorSetting:Default_INT: C40_UseModelLayerInViews.
If this default is activated, in elevation views, the layer from the model are used.

Correct. Then turn off the "Use color ByLayer in overview drawings, for visible lines" in Drawing-Presentation/Colors. Thanks Mate!
