Golfdave Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I have my dimensions set to go to the "Dimensions' Layer, But I was wondering if there is a way to get a specific Style to go to a different layer. I use a specific dim style for emgineering that I don't want to print and would like to have it on it's own Non Printing layer. Is there a way to do this automatically without manualy changing the layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I could modify my Layer Director application to achieve this - feel free to drop me a message through my site if you want to go this route. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) How are you with writing a LISP routine? This one is reasonably easy. Use a Selection Set with a filter to select all dimensions with the dim style you want, something like this: (setq DimSS (SSGET '((3 . "standard"))) ) ; A selection set filtering for dimstyle 'standard' and then loop trough this selection set applying an 'entmod' to each for the layer (dxf code 8,) Something like this: (setq acount 0) (while (< acount (sslength DimSS)) (setq MyEnt (ssname DimSS acount)) (setq ed (entget MyEnt)) (setq ed (subst (cons 8 "NEWLAYER") (assoc 8 ed) ed )) (entmod ed) (setq acount (+ acount 1)) ) ; end while Edited February 21 by Steven P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I posted some where make little defuns that set the dimension style then sets the layer then calls dim command. (defun c:10 ( / ) (command "dimstyle" "R" "DIM10") (setvar 'clayer "DIM10") (command-s "DIM") ) Another method Edited February 21 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
