Hey Lee, I really like this, however I have one request. How hard would it be to change it so that after you select an object it allows you to select an additional object so that multiple layers can be isolated?

Oh..... that would actually be really nice.

Nice idea, but I'm not sure how the program should act after the user has selected the first object?

I was thinking it would act how it does now, until you click an object. Once this is done, everything on that layer is highlighted, but everything else stays visible. Then when you hover another object on a different layer, just the objects on those two layers are visible until you click on the 2nd object, which would cause everything on the two layers to be highlighted while everything is still visible. And this would continue until the user enteres an exit command, maybe just hitting enter.

 

Not sure if this make sense...

You updated the code in the first post of this thread, right? Because when I run it, it still only allows me to select one object.

Works for me, you got the Multiple Version right?

Wow, I feel like a noob... works great... thanks for the update.

Very nice Mr.Lee..................thanks..............lot.............................:)

Hi Lee,

Your LISP is much better than using the command "layiso" but what about layers of Xrefs in a drawing that has some attached Xrefs? Can you please upgrade the LISP so that User can isolate any layer of Xrefs. Thank you.

Posted

I'm glad you like the program Phiphi,

 

However, with the current method of object detection and layer isolation, subentity layers are not detected, and hence only the layer on which the xref resides may be isolated (as per the layiso command).

Posted

Thank Lee,

Can you please create a new code for isolating Xref's layers in a drawing that has some attached Xrefs. Many thanks. PP.

Posted

You could select the objects within the xref using nentsel, and manipulate the layers accordingly :)

I have one more request for the multiple layer version one... Is it possible to add the option to type "l" for the prompt and have it select the last created entity, kinda like how "stock" AutoCAD commands work?

Hi Lee,

His routine for one layer show this message in CAD2002:

 

Command: AP

APPLOAD HL.lsp successfully loaded.

Command:

Command: HL

Move Cursor Over Objects, Click to Isolate Layer...Unknown command "LAYISO".

Press F1 for help.

Unknown command "HL". Press F1 for help.

I'm not 100% sure, but more than likely the LAYISO command is not avaliable in AutoCAD 2002, which is why its unknown. I don't have 2002 tho, so I can't verify
