Connect Project Tech Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Hi All, Not sure if any of you have had this problem but, here goes. Every time I select something & change its colour or even layer it doesn't seem to work. I can change it form the properties sidebar, but its annoying that everything is drawn on layer 0 as black rather than what's set up - even the line types don't work! Also, when something's selected the commands wont work - I have to initiate the command first then select them. Quote
Attila The Gel Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Select the layer or linetypes you wan't to work with first and then start drawing, If you forget to switch layers you can 'matchprop' after your done drawing. this is faster than selecting everyting and then setting them on the right layer or linetypes. Which commands are you talking about? Quote
Connect Project Tech Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 something's not right, I cant freeze layers in the viewport now! Pickfirst is set to 0 And no matter what my layers are set to, its all on layer 0 when I draw - I cant have something on a right layer to match it! Curse! Quote
Connect Project Tech Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 well I'll be damned, thats what it does! Thanks CAD, how did I miss this one?.... Quote
chulse Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Oops - I guess I forgot to say what it should be set at... Quote
enion Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I have this problem with layers, sometimes when i use layers from another drawing, in my drawing, the properties of layers doesnt take effect, e.x. if i want to change the thickness or the color of the layer they doesnt take effect. Why?! Quote
Cad64 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Click on an entity and check it's Properties. Make sure that "Color" and "Linetype" are both set to ByLayer. Quote
Albeetron Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Pickfirst should be set to 1. thank you sooooo much! i had the same problem, pickfirst to 1 fixed all Quote
magnolia Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Pickfirst should be set to 1. Thanks a punch, I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. Awesome! Quote
SLW210 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 What ever happened to the Idea of putting "DOES PICKFIRST=1" as a header at the top of the screen? Quote
eyde Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Why have it an option at all????? Why would anyone want it set to 0? Quote
