Change layer by numerical keyboard

Change layer by numerical keyboard

Change layer by numerical keyboard

(OP)
Hi all and compliment for your forum!
Before to use draftsight i used Intellicad and i used codes below for change, frozen and unfrozen layer:
^C^C^C_layer;s;layer2;; to set layer2
^C^C^C_layer;f;layer2;; to frozen layer2
^C^C^C_layer;t;layer2;; to unfrozen layer2

I try to use this code in draftsight but dot not work.
So, there is in draftsight, a method for change layers by clicking the numeric keys?

Regards
Carmelo

RE: Change layer by numerical keyboard

Hi,

try replace your commands with theese
to set layer 2 use ^C^C-LA;M;2;; If the layer does not exist, will be created and set as the current
to frozen layer 2 use ^C^C-LA;F;2;;
to unfrozen layer 2 use ^C^C-LA;T;2;;
You can use command -LA (or -LAYER) and see other options to manage layers. Sign - is important, without it, a dialog panel to manage layers appears.

hi and thank you for response..
i have tried to replace command with ^C^C-LA;M;MURI;; but not run and show this message " Unrecognized command ".
So, i not understand the problem.
Please help me, thanks you.

ps: "muri" is the name of layer.

RE: Change layer by numerical keyboard

Hi,
this command does not work in command line as is. At the command prompt, you enter commands individually.
This what I sent operates as follows:
1 anywhere in tooolbar right click mouse
2 choose Customize Interface
3 select Command. In the upper right klick small green + (Add Command)
4 New line with word "command" appears. Replace "Command" command with your name, for example "set current layer".
5 enter ^ C ^ C-LA, M; MURI;; into the command line string. You can add icon and description of the command. Select Apply or OK.
6 Now you can use this command in the menu, Toolbars, and Keyboard Shortcuts.
7 DraftSight "HELP" - "Customizing Interface" describes this in detail

RE: Change layer by numerical keyboard

instead layer name use * (asterisk)
-la;t;*;; to unfrozen
-la;f;*;; to frozen

In layer dialog (command LAYER, not -LA) select all layer by RMB - SpecifyAll, then klick anywhere to column Frozen.
