Deleting layer in use...

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

I wonder if it's possible to delete a complete layer that is in use,

in this case it's the CenterDrill 116 layer created by the drill-aid script.

 

//Greg.

    Very easy. Display layer 116 only, group the whole area and delete

    everything. Now the layer is empty and you can delete it image

    Yeah well image I find it annoying to have to re-select all layers I want active again,

    wondering if there's a faster way...

    What a good idea! It would be a nice time saver if we had some more buttons

    attached to the Display icon: remember current selected layers being

    displayed, restore display of those remembered layers, clear/delete (but

    with intent verification!) current selected layers.

    As I just posted in your request in the suggest group:

     

    Did you try the aliases for the display command?

    You can save a certain layer combination under any name (alias).

    Now use the right mouse button to select the aliases from the

    DISPLAY icon's context menu. There also exists the GRID LAST

    function.

    That's really nice. Never right-clicked the Display icon before. Eagle does

    just about everything.  image

    I certainly missed that one, as obviously others did too.

    Thank you.

    Too bad display last isn't implemented in 4.16 image

    Am a bit too poor to purchase even the non-profit license right now...

    So I have to stick to 4.16...
