Changing Automatic Layer Assignments

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to change what attributes go to what layers in ACADE 2008
SP1.

I want to have the TERMDESC attributes put on either the TEXT or DESC layer
and not the MISC layer.

Regards Brad

Straight from the Help file

Apply to entities on layer "0" only

As AutoCAD Electrical inserts a component, it moves the parts and pieces of the symbol to the category layers listed in this dialog box. If you do not want an attribute or the graphics of a specific electrical symbol block to move to the defined AutoCAD Electrical layers, create your symbol with the entities on some layer other than 0, and then select this switch.

"it moves the parts and pieces of the symbol to the category layers listed in this dialog box" - {color:#0000ff}What dialog box?{color}

"and then select this switch" - {color:#0000ff}What switch?{color}

Thanks. I've been looking everywhere for that.

No probem.

You may want to script update all your drawings and the following seems to work well.

(setq oldval (c:wd_getattrval (setq en (c:wd_reread_dwg_params)) "MISC_FLAGS"))(c:wd_modattrval en "MISC_FLAGS" (itoa (logior (atoi oldval) 2)) nil)(command ".QSAVE")
