Layer States

Post by RobB » Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:57 pm

A single drawing can generate many different 'paper space' documents, and defining layer states makes generating the output much easier.
Is there a layer state list applet to show the defined layers to select from? I did not find anything.

There is not a layer state widget currently. You could put in a request for it. I would vote for it!

If you go to Layer>Layer States you can see a list of the states you have created and select between them.

Yes I know that I can get a pull down list. Still, a widget is much easier, reminds me of the states that I already created. And it would be nice to be able to add in the layer state the appropriate Paper Space as well...
Please submit on my behalf, I did not generate a bugtracker PW.

I can put in a request. I do know that layer states are global. They can not be associated with only certain paper spaces/layout blocks.
