Send Layer Names to Printer

Send Layer Names to Printer

It would be great if we could somehow convert various layer names into a text file so I can send my layer names list to a printer.   I know in AutoCAD you have the option to copy and paste your layers so that you can generate a file to send to the printer to list your layers and names.  It would be nice to have a similar feature in 3ds Max to help organize my layers and references on paper.  It would also be nice to have the layer color printed as a box next to the name for faster reference.  Thanks!

Should be scriptable?

 

for i = 1 to layermanager.count do ( curLayer = layermanager.getlayer (i-1); print (curLayer.name + " " + curlayer.wirecolor as string) )

 

That would get you an output of names & color values as text at least, would need to do some more work if you're wanting some other sort of output.

Hi @Diffus3d

 

Thanks for your idea submission, but it seems like an edge case that does not resonate well in the community, so I will archive this idea to make room for other opportunities.
