I want to create a Layer Filter that excludes both Civil Layers and Xrefs
I have created one that excludes Civil objects (Excl Civil.jpg) but when I add a filter for excluding xrefs as well the Civil objects appear in the filter again - indeed all the layers are included again (Excl Xref.jpg); if I invert the filter nothing is dsplayed.
Anyone able to come up with the correct fllter for this??
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
Not sure how to create a single filter. If you stack the filters by filtering the xrefs first then create a sub filter for the civil layers inside the xref filter, that works.
Hey thats a meme, ..."yo dawg, I heard you like filters, so I create afilter in your filter so you can filter your filter"
That stacking trick works - thanks

The Layer filter include layers from the filter in the first line being layers not starting with C- (which includes the xref layers) AND the layers from the filter in the second line being layers not including | (which includes the Civil layers) so in effect, you will only exclude xrefed civil layers.
There are two ways I can think of that you can achieve what you want.
thanks for the explanation - I wondered if the filter was doing something as you described
