Topic: LAYTRANS vs. (acet-laytrans) - Inconsistent Mappings despite same *.dws

[Hackysack]

Hello everybody!

I'm currently experimenting with automatic Layer mappings. I've prepared a *.dws File and used it with the LAYTRANS command and everything worked as expected. Now I'm trying to speed things up and loaded the same *.dws into a copy of the drawing using (acet-laytrans) and, to my suprise, some mappings worked and some didn't.

Has somebody experience with this problem? Alternatively I'm going to code the functionality myself, but if this problem can be resolved quickly, I'd rather use the already provided function.
