Layer Properties not updating properly

[Liltygar]

We have changed the color, line weight and description of specific layers. We used to use Layer state to update the layers, now we use the design center.

 

Changes made in Example 1.

Example 2 has the wrong layers - so Design center is open, layers from Example 1 are dragged and dropped into Example 2.

 

Layers still wrong.

 

Example1.dwg

 

This is the Example 1.

You probably need to purge all layers first. If you drag in layers that have the same name, AutoCAD will keep the current layer properties.

Not sure exactly what you are aiming for.. But a simple LISP routine to set up layers can be very powerful.

[jnoltremari]

I have a macro that fixes layer colors. You could use something like this, adjusted to exactly what you need.

 

^C^C-LAYER;C;30;am_0_object;C;CYAN;am_1_object_1;...and so on....

 

Then again, as 'lamensterms' stated, I'm not sure I know what you're aiming for.

Design Center will not update the layer properties of layers that are present in the drawing. Layer Translator will do it for you.
