Topic: Create a Filter for some Xref Layers

[Fabricio28]

Hi guys,
My project i have about 50 xref layers and I wanna to use just 10 of them.
I'd like to create a filter for that 10 xref layers.

I don't know how to do that.

Coul you help me please?

Regards

create the filter

select the layers you want to be part of it

drag them over into the filter you just made

[mjfarrell]

Open layer dialog

rt-click where it says ALL

select  NEW GROUP FILTER

Click on ALL layers or in your case
with the XREF attached, an XREF file layer filter will already appear

Select the layers you want with either click+shift click
or CTRL+CLICK to build a list

hover over one of the selected layers
Left mouse button down and drag to the layer filter name you created above and release

worked Fine.

Did not know you could do that. Cool.

I did not know you could drag and drop the layers to build your filter.  very cool indeed!
If I offer a suggestion Fabricio28,  read up on the use of wild cards in your filters.  For layers that have common characters in the layer name.   Since in my world, the xref name changes from project to project, I use a wild card in front of my text layers.  I can shut off my text with one click.

Interesting Krushert,
I'd like to know more about it.

yes it will work for Xref layers

[mjfarrell]

also look into PROPERTY based filtering as well

can filter by linetype, color, and much more

Hi guys,
I've created new group filter and worked perfect!!

And the xref project I changed the xref layers colors and I added to the group.

but when I make some change in the main project, I lose all the xref layers in the group filter.

I was thinking if is possible to create a permanent filter (include xref layers) even if I change the layer color.
Is it possible?

regards

You can create a property filter and for name use
~*|*

That will include all layers in a Xref
