For now routine allows you to save all property settings together (On/Off, Freeze/Thaw, Color, Visibility in current VP, Lock/Unlock, Linetype, Lineweight, etc.), if you want to save only specific settings for each layer state, you should use “Save” option of “stAte” inside “-LAYER” command. Save option lets you to save new layer state with specific settings.
If you select “?” – you will see all layer states saved in drawing. After you load routine via APPLOAD command, you can type LMAN command to start routine, then you will see all available options: If you want to save specific layer state, you have first to setup layers via Layers Palette. LAS file and then import it to another DWG. Importing layer states from drawing files is not supported in my routine, for now you have to open DWG file, export layer state to. With LMAN you can restore layer states in Model space and in viewports in Layouts (you can restore layer states for each viewport individually). list layer states names saved in the drawing,.For the moment my routine allows you to perform basic operations with layer states:
In this routine I have used build-in AutoLISP functions for layer states manipulations – (layerstate- xxx). So, now I want to present you my AotoLISP routine, that made command line interface (CLI) to “Layer States Manager” more visual friendly. Moreover, being inside the command-LAYER it is quite difficult to work with the names of layer states – every time you have to type a question mark to see a list of layer states, stored in a drawing. But going trough command prompts, typing different options sometimes is not very convenient. In OTB AutoCAD for Mac you can manage layer states (most of the really important layer state operations) using the “stAte” option of “-LAYER” command (you can do the basics like saving, restoring and deleting layer states). combinations to improve your efficiency working with particular groups of layers. Saving multiple layer states allows you to quickly reset particular On/Off, Freeze/Thaw, etc. A layer state saves all the visibility and properties settings for all the layers in the drawing. Layer states differ from layer filters in that filters simply allow you to “save” short lists of layers, whereas layer states allow you to save different visibility and properties settings for use at a later time. A layer state is a combination of layer settings (On/Off, Freeze/Thaw, etc.) that can be saved and later restored.
