ALL LAYERS OFF COMMAND?

ALL LAYERS OFF COMMAND?

ALL LAYERS OFF COMMAND?

(OP)
Hello
In NX6 is there a command to turn off all layers except the active one?

RE: ALL LAYERS OFF COMMAND?

Format > Layer Setting > toggle "catagory display" on under "layers" > click on "all" under "name" > click on the "make visible only" icon (to the right of those words)

RE: ALL LAYERS OFF COMMAND?

(OP)
I was looking for a single click command. Something like the old Microstation has. It'll toggle them "all-on" or "all-off".
Does anyone know any code to do this in UG. Like a Grip or Macro or ?.

Thanks for your feed back guys.

I think that you just want to open the layer function, tick ON the category display then tick off ALL. You can never turn off the work layer so tick off ALL effectively hides all "except" the work layer.

Cool beans jerry1423! That's exactly what I was looking for. It turns off all but the active layer. Thanks very much!

I wish I knew more about UG code. But I never seem to find the time :(

A macro is simply a recording of your keystrokes, or entries. It really is not hard to do.
Just go up into your Tools > Macro menu and and make a short program.
Press "start record" (enter the name of program), then create a cube, or draw a line, or do something like that, even something more complex, and then press "stop recording". Then delete what you created (or press "undo" until gone) and replay the macro.
It is really nice when the NX macros that you use often are added to a tooolbar, so you simply press a button to make it go.

There some some programming things where there is more of a code involved, but macros are really quite easy.
