Every time I open a drawing in LDD it inserts the following layers TEXTS, TEXTM, & TEXTL. We don't use these layers and do not want them in our drawings for the project I'm working on. My need is to find out what setting is placing them in the drawing so that it can be changed for this project. :?
BTW, AutoCAD 2002, LDD3
Any help or suggestions would be great.
-
Maybe they are saved inside your default template drawing that opens every time(Drawing 1).
-
Nope, checked that first. :)
These layers are being created in existing drawings when they are being edited (not new drawings), for example when being opened or changing from mspace to pspace. :roll:
-
Those thengs have been there since Softdesk 6 and there is no way to get rid of them. They are part of the load sequence of LDD. You would have to modify parts of the program that are not accessable by the user. You just have to learn to live with them, but they are just SO stupid!

I know they’ve been around for a long time, and I thought at sometime during the last few years you could setup certain layers to be the default. Those layers names are realy familiar, some documentation that I've read and now need a real whack upside the head to remember.
BTW, Dent are those real medals, in your picture? There are quite a few people gettin' caught fer bein' impersonators lately. If they are real, and I'm sure they are GOOD for you. :D

Ywp... them's Dent's boyscout merit badges all right. Ain't nuttin phoney 'bout our Dentster......

Those are not "Kerry" medals. All are real. Note the oak leaf clusters on several indicating multiple awards. "Course some of them are "overseas" ribbons. 5 GLORIOUS trips to Germany !! They range from the National Defence Service medal (aka known as th 'Fire Guard Ribbon") to 4 Army Commendation Medals. Hey, you put in 24 years, you're going to get a medal for something! The law of averages always prevails. I even got a "longevity" medal. I had to leave the service due to illness. They got sick of me. :oops: My sense of humor worked well with the troops but the COMMANDERS couldn't cope with it. I always felt that I made Staff Meetings "interesting" :twisted:

Dent, you sure make this forum interesting....

Hey guys, I found this on the Autodesk help pages for LDD:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk
Sorry the link didn't work.
What I did was go to the Support Knowledge Base and the enter the names of the layers. I was then shown this article "Deleting the Textl, Textm, Texts layers" ID: TS27015.
It took care of my problem, basically you need to edit the following lines in the zzsdesk.ly file.
User text (small),TEXTS,TEXTS,1,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,1
User text (medium),TEXTM,TEXTM,2,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,1
User text (large),TEXTL,TEXTL,3,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,1
Change them to look like this:
User text (small),TEXTS,TEXTS,1,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,0
User text (medium),TEXTM,TEXTM,2,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,0
User text (large),TEXTL,TEXTL,3,CONTINUOUS,1,1,1,1,0
The 0 or 1 on the end controls an "Autocreate" for these layers.
Thanks for all the help and comments :D :D

I had read about that before. i tried it and it didn't work. This time it did. :dood: And you KNOW it CAN'T be taht I did itwrong last time. :crazy: Old dog, new trick. :fart:

Glad to be of assistance Dent. I'll put it on your account. :mrgreen: :twisted:

They must've changed this in LDD4. I haven't ever had that problem, and didn't have to edit any files.
Now the only problem is AutoCAD seems to automatically create that ADCADD_ZZ block (apparently for backward-compatability with old Softdesk routines) on the current layer. This can make it impossible to purge the layer later (well, until you erase the invisible ADCADD_ZZ block or move it to another layer), and not obvious why; it can also lead to a lot of unnecessary "Redefinition of block ADCADD_ZZ ignored" messages if you use point description keys with symbols. This is probably a bug on AutoDesk's part; if they want to maintain backward compatability by creating this block in every drawing, then it should always be created on the 0 layer, and it should be immune from insertion into other drawings.
