Layer Rules

Layer Rules

Layer Rules

(OP)
In our drawing templates, the person that set them up put layer rules in place along with states. If a parameter is defined as being one of the states, it would change the layer for a note above the title block when regenerated. The parameter is controlled by a restricted external file.

We have been asked to add a new classification to the drawings. I have the state defined, the parameter file changed and the symbols on that new layer. What I can't figure out is how to turn the other symbol layers off when the new layer is activated. Also, how to turn the new layer off when another layer is activated. In the layer tree, I show the layer has rules. In the layer properties, the symbols for then existing layers have a rule icon, but my new layer doesn't.

Can anyone provide some help so I can finish this task? I am documenting the process in case I have to do it again.
