AutoCAD Draw Order

[dalbaughQBXKH]

All,

I know there are a few add ons and LISP routines out there that will allow my users to do this, but I am looking for an automatic "IDIOT PROOF" way to set a draw order to our "standard" set of layers. I am attempting to avoid relying on our users to remember layer "B" should be on top of Layer "C" but under Layer "A".  It is not going to happen, I know TRAINING!

To coin a phrase from 90's infomercials "Set it!!!! And forget it!!!!"

Anyway, I have Lee Mac's "LDOrder", Thanks, Lee! I have AutoCAD Architecture and can set a draw order sequence in a  drawing there. 

My question/issue... is there any way or does anyone have input/suggestions or how to create a template, export said template, and then import the template into a destination drawing so that the destination drawing will have the layers set to the same draw order.

I understand there will be issues where a drawing's layers are different than standard, layers need to be added, ignored, and simply moved to front or back based on not being present in the "template". Just way beyond my knowledge base of programming. 

Any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated 🙂

Regards,

Dustin

If you look carefully at Lee's code you can rework it to do predefined layers rather than use the list box choices.

I would suggest you contact Lee and ask nicely for a more manual approach a donation goes a long way. looking quickly the majority of code is to do with the get layers in order. I think can see the change but its Lee's code so ask him first.
