How to set default layer to a tool.

[pdm5025]

I was wondering if there was a way to assign layers to individual tools. In other words, if I want to use the linear dimension tool, upon clicking on the tool the layer would automatically switch over to my dimension layer without me having to manually change layers.

 

I am using AutoCAD LT 2013. Any assistance is much appreciated!!

Drag and drop it on a Tool Palette then right click it. Under Properties change the Layer designation.

 

In the future please refrain from double posting as it just leads to confusion if a member is interested in following your thread. Thank you.
