Hi Matias, thank you for your response.

 

I am producing 2D drawings of a 3D model of a platform structure and I have used the FLATSHOT command to get the views I need. Of course FLATSHOT does not retain the layer settings from the original model, so I end up with a view where everything is on layer 0. I would like to move the floor plates onto one layer, and the steelwork onto another, and to do this manually will take time.

 

I had a thought that I could automate the process slightly if I produce a second flatshot of ONLY the floor plates in the 3D model and place the new flatshot view onto a separate layer. I could then overlay it onto the original layer 0 flatshot and remove all of the duplicates, leaving behind only the floorplates and the rest of the steelwork that was visible around the floor plates. The remaining steelwork could then easily be isolated and be moved from Layer 0 to it's own steelwork layer.

 

Unfortunately this doesn't work as I hoped because I can't stop Autocad from deleting some of the objects on the floor plates layer.
