Requested: Changing the name of layers of Xref after bind

[Ahankhah]

Hi all,

as most of you know after xbinding an xrefed drawing into current drawing, layers name change in this format:

$#$

where:

xref file name before xbind.

$#$ a number between two $ signs.

layer name in the xrefed file.

should anyone offer a way to change the name of layers to their original name? Note that sometimes layer names after omitting two first parts of them will be same as existing names.

 

I appreciate any help or spending time for this.

how about just chooseing Insert instead of Bind in the Bind-dialogue box?

[Ahankhah]

Tiger, thank you for your offer, but I search a way to do it via LISP.

May be your idea helps me to try on replacing Xrefed file to inserted one.

Thank you again, Tigerwoman;).

Can you bind an xref via Lisp? How? I can't seem to find the commands for that.

 

Huh, I found the command but it doesn't give the options that the Bind-dialogue gives...

Tiger,

today is Friday and it is Freeday for us in Iran, and I have no access to AutoCAD, so please let me check this later.

It will be done by setting Bindtype system variable to 1

 

 

Bindtype: Controls how xref names are handled when binding xrefs or editing xrefs in place.

 

0 Traditional binding behavior ("xref1|one" becomes "xref$0$one")

 

1 Insert-like behavior ("xref1|one" becomes "one")
