lisp to export /import the layers Properties Filter in autocad 2019

JM_THS_4Y — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:20:29 GMT

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm asking if you can help me with a lisp that can export the layers Properties Filter I have in a drawing and then import them into any other drawing (Autocad 2019).
They are not Filter Properties (in group) they are individual.

Thank you all for your help.

Your illustration doesn't show any filters. Without using lisp, start the layer command. Then choose the layer states button(or just use the layerstates command). Create a new layer state and then export it. In any other drawing, import the layer state.

You can also just insert a drawing into any other drawing. All the layers will be created. Then just delete the drawing and purge the additional stuff out.

Thanks for the answer, but that's not what I need, it's exporting simple filters, not as groups or layer states.
Thanks anyway.

Show us then what exactly do you need @JM_THS_4Y so there is no confusion

what I need is a lisp that takes all the layer filters that any drawing has and exports these filters so that I can later import them into other drawings that don't already have those same filters created.

So in all drawings, whether new drawings or already in work, but at any time you can import the filters that were exported before and so it is possible to import this information for the drawings you want.

I don't know if I was clear, I'm sorry.

what I need is not to export the layer state, that doesn't solve me.

thank you very much

thanks,

the solution from https://www.augi.com/forums/showthread.php?97438-Can-I-create-frequently-used-layer-filters-in-LISP&p=952247&viewfull=1#post952247 with lisp LayerFilter.lsp works in part.

It only exports and imports one filter at a time, but it's always better than nothing.

Ideally, export all the filters, then import them all again, but that at least helps.

If however someone with more knowledge can help improve this lisp, to export all and then import all or with the possibility of selecting several that would be very good.

Thanks again for the help so far.

Some verticals have these features built-in, C3D include. It's

LAYERLOADFILTERTREE

LAYEREXPORTFILTERTREE

Also, dotsoft had some free stuff that worked with layer filters. You can try it HERE

Any chance you get post a sample drawing with filters already set up?

Seems to me that it works flawlessly. Or are you aiming to do some self-learning exercise? 📖

Is there a way to modify this LISP to export and import the complete Filter Tree structure?

So to include all subfilters that may be present in a property/group filter?
