Importing blocks as custom symbols may result in slower translation and a larger file size. Lets you map DXF/DWG layers to NX layers. In AutoCAD, you can create an infinite number of layers, whereas in NX you can create a maximum of 256 layers. Layers in DXF/DWG are named while layers in NX are numbered.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Import / Export Layer Property Custom Filters
Nov 14, 2012I need importing and exporting custom layer property filters. Long story short, we XREF a lot of mechanical equipment in our models and when we create a structural drawing make all of the mechanical item print in a light ghosted color. I created a layer property filter with a huge list of all the possible equipment prefix's like *cl-* *tk-* *rv-* and so on to filter out all the equipment layers. It took a long time to create, so I want to export it and import it into future drawing.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Layer Filters Not Working On Ribbon?
Jun 16, 2010My layer filters are not working on the ribbon, why and/or if this is an autocad bug.
I created one for hiding Xref layers, which is an inverted filter. it works on the 'Layer Properties Manager' but does not work on my ribbon layer menu. If i turn on the old layer dialog it is working in there.
I know there are many differnt views about the ribbon so i dont need any of the comments telling me to turn it off and get on with it etc.
If you look at the attached images you can see the screen shots of my problem. Note that i have the layer settings correct. Autocad Help says that if the 'apply filter to layer toolbar' is on then it will apply this to the ribbon. which it does not.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Wild Card In Layer Property Filters?
Feb 16, 2012I'm trying to set up a layer filter that excludes Existing layer names, Following NCS standard, Existing information layer names always end with a -E
Help file says:
~ (tilde)
Matches anything but the pattern; for example; ~*AB*matches all strings that don't contain AB
but using ~*-E (tilde asterix hyphen E) returns all the layer names that end with a '-E'
does the tilde not function with LayerProperty Filters?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Purging Layers Ruins Layer Filters?
Jan 22, 2013We have a number of standard layer group filters. We also have a utility that allows us to re-create our standard layers with the push of a button, making it easy to use the PURGE command to keep the drawings clean.
We have noticed that once we purge our layers out, the group filters are broken. After reinserting the standard layers, some of them show no layers, and others show all of the layers, neither of which is correct. It seems that once a Group Layer Filter no longer sees the layers it was set to include in the layer list, it forgets all its settings and becomes useless.
Witcher 3 best armor. How can we continue to use PURGE without losing the functionality of our layer filters?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?
Oct 2, 2013A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).
Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.
Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?
I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MEP 2013 Layer Dialog - Layer Pane Not Updating To Selected Filters
Autocad Export Layers To Excel
Jan 18, 2013I'm having issues with Civ3d 2013. I pushed off upgrading from 2012 because of the format change and the service pack release. I was hoping little glitches would be fixed.
Here are the a couple of glitches to date that I have seen no resolution to in the long list of threads.
1. Layer filters do not filter, unless I have checked 'Apply filter to toolbar'. The problem is, I dont want to apply them to the toolbar.
2. Publishing to PDF - when set to lines merge (set in the page layout and the publish setting), the wipeouts dont work, and the background masks on leaders makes a faint border around the text in the PDF. When set to overwrite, to get the wipeouts to not print to the PDF as a big black blob, they have to be on a layer set to color 255. I can work around most of the wipeouts, except for dimensions because the background mask doesn't seem to take.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add New Layer While In Filters
Jun 20, 2013While I have layer filter on using dialog, I want to add a new layer to this filter.Normally you right click and add layer similar to the highlight layer, however, you if layer filter are on, then layer 1 is created.
Then you have to find this layer, and rename it. I also can use the command prompt to created the layer, However, I want to create a layer name similar to the one in the filter, as if I index the layer. Example:C-topo-spot-existing-phase -1 New layer: C-topo-spot-existing-phase-2.
AutoCad :: Xref Layers / Layer Filters
Mar 31, 2011My company uses tons of Xrefs - wonderful, however problem comes when having to navigate through 100's of layers to get to the main drawings layers. So I tried using the layer filters to just show my main drawings layers. Here is the problem, I you can select show all layers, not good, can select just the xrefs (show all of them or show just one of them, etc..), or you can show just the used layers - I tried that, but when you create a new layer it is not included in that filter. I tried setting up a custom layer filter, however, I don't know how to right the name or what selection to make that would allow me to exclude a set of layers.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layer Filters To Strip Off Xref Name?
Aug 7, 2012Is there a way to set up a layer filter to strip off the xref name?
I have standard layers in all my drawings. I want to use a filter to setup the type of drawing. i.e erosion control.
However, from project to project the xref file name changes so filters don't work with the new name..
Anyway, if there is a way to hide the xref filename from the prefix of the layer. if so, a standard layer filter would grab all the layers with the same name.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer States Applying Filters?
Oct 3, 2013I was trying to use layer states and layer filters, the way when I use the layer state 1, for example, it will only be shown in my layer panel the layers on/unfrozen for this layer state. I checked the layer management panel and removed the layers I didnt want to be shown from this layer state 1 and hit ok/close, but they're still being showed. So i created a filter, turned it on and saved my layer state with this filter ON, and nothing was changed.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Layer Filters Properties Dialog Box Does Not Show?
Nov 6, 2013This problem just started when I upgraded to 2014. When I try to set up layer filters the Layer filters properties dialog box does not show.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Created P&P Sheets That Do Not Include Layer Filters?
Sep 9, 2013We have one template that we use for starting all our drawings. This contains all of our layers, layer filters and most commonly used blocks.
Then we have a template file called 'Titleblocks' -- this contains one layout for each different size border as well as vport definitions for Plan, Profile or P&P.
When I used the C3D P&P tool to create my sheets, it of course used the Titleblocks template which means that the filters are lost. Is there a relatively simple way to add those filters to my sheets? Each sheet is a layout in a separate dwg file.
AutoCad :: Layer Property Manager Won't Open - Delete Some Filters Message
Dec 9, 2008I opened a drawing this morning that was sent to me by another office. I tried to open the layer property manager and it gave me a message that there were more layer filters than layers and that I should delete some of the filters. I said ok, but the property manager dialog box never opened. Now I can't open the layer property manager dialog box in any of my drawings.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Distance Command Using Y Point Filters?
Mar 4, 2010I use point filters allot when measuring distances. I noticed today using Full CAD 2010 that when i measured a distance (Say 2m) using a 'Y' point filter, between two objects not directly below one another the answer i got was wrong. It seemed to give me the distance of where my crosshairs where at the time of finishing the command.
I have tried this on another full system of CAD 2010 and a light version. Problem occurs on all.
I know that if you just measure between the points CAD will give you the (-Y) answer in the command line, but using point filters is an old habbit hard to kick.
AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Create Filters Both Positive AND Negative In Parameters
Sep 9, 2013I have in the past needed to create filters that had both a positive AND a negative in the parameters.
One of my most common examples: Layers in a specific XRef with names that do not contain specific string.
I tried XRefName|*[~anno]* and it gave me ALL the layers from the XRef (including the ones with anno in the name).
I also tried XRefName|*~anno* and it didn't list ANY layers.
It it possible to do this? I've read throught the docs on using wildcards in the filter properties but don't see anything.
Illustrator :: CS6 Crashes When Trying To Export To PNG / Save For Web / Filters
Jul 17, 2013I am using Illustrator CS6 on OS X 10.8.4. Anything that rasterizes the artwork causes Illustrator to hang. Export (PNG), Save for Web, Filters like Drop Shadow or Gaussian Blur (even when just checking the preview box).
I've read through some discussions that suggested:
– Uninstalling the entire CS6 suite and re-intalling it
– Going into Disk Utitlity and 'Repair Permissions'
– Creating a new user account on my Macbook, deleted the old user account and re-installed the CS6 suite
But none of the above suggestions worked. As soon as I create a new user account Illustrator began to crash again upon export the next of couple days.
