Can you copy layers from one drawing to another? If so how?
Thanks

RE: Layers Question
I already do that but what I am trying to do is copy the layers for each part. This is a Solidworks/ AutoCAD thing. I design everything in Solidworks then save my assemblies as a DWG file so that the designer can finalize everything. I create a layer for each part. The problem is that I have assemblies inside of assemblies. So the same parts show up on multiple drawings. I also have to ensure that the layer colors are the same so when someone pulls up the AutoCAD drawings the parts that are common to multiple assemblies appear the same. I messed around with this for a while. I thought that there may be a macro somewhere but I could not find one. My life would be so much easier if we just got rid of AutoCAD and used Solidworks only.
RE: Layers Question
There may be a file within SW to copy layers, but I have not found it yet.
Ever users nightmare would go away if they used only one CAD software.
Creating in SW then exporting to ACAD is a sore subject for me.
