macros

How do I change the single or multitext macro to automatically change my text to the text layer?

Don't edit standard macros, create your own.

Command: -LAYER

OR use TOOLPALETTE

create a TEXT on the right layer and drag them to the Toolpalette..

OR in new versions, use TEXTLAYER setting

This part of AutoCad is not my strength creating . A past fellow Cadder added something to a current text macro that would allow no matter what layer one was in to change to text layer automatically when using text. He since has gone and we updated our cad but it escapes me as to what he did with the macro.

Would you also direct me how to get dimensioning to automatically go to the dimensioning layer?

Then read read my link to the Help[F1] about TEXTLAYER,

hopefully you are using a new version.

Next time, please add the information from your dialog, command: ABOUT to your thread,

in different Products (you posted in LT Forum, so you are using LT?) - and versions/updates

are different features (and bugs) available.

Friend, it's time to learn your program if you wish to continue using it. Here is a quick tutorial on how to create a new layer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_oXvqSUaao

Here is more from HELP inside the program about LAYERS in general https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoC...
