Re: Can't save layerstate
I found if I don't use the acLsAll mask and use instead the mask below it works.
(setq what (+ acLsAll, acLsColor, acLsFrozen, acLsLineType, acLsLineWeight, acLsLocked, acLsNewViewport, acLsNone, acLsOn, acLsPlot, acLsPlotStyle))
I hacked this acLsAll worth 65535 and the sum of all other masks is 511
with that I just keep adding till I got all states to be on and that was this:
Try this formula (1+ (* acLsAll 2)) or simply 131071. Below is a visual explaination of all this: the name of the mask, the decimal value and the binary value.
acLsNone 0 00000000000000000
acLsOn 1 00000000000000001
acLsFrozen 2 00000000000000010
acLsLocked 4 00000000000000100
acLsPlot 8 00000000000001000
acLsNewViewport 16 00000000000010000
acLsColor 32 00000000000100000
acLsLineType 64 00000000001000000
acLsLineWeight 128 00000000010000000
acLsPlotStyle 256 00000000100000000
acLsAll 65535 01111111111111111
acLsAll + 1 10000000000000000
(+ 1 (* acLsAll 2)) 11111111111111111
For example, having a value of 41 means 1 + 8 + 32 so it represents the sum of acLsOn + acLsPlot + acLsColor.
(setq what (1+ (* acLsAll 2)))
This should work, but doesn't.... won't show the layerstate in the
acad layermanager layerstate dialog box.. but this one does.
(setq what (+ 66047 acLsnone acLson acLsnewviewport acLslineweight acLslocked acLslinetype acLson acLsColor acLsFrozen acLsPlot acLsPlotStyle))
or
(setq what (+ 66559))
used like this: where SaveLayerState is the function call
name is the Layerstate name
what is the Mask
(SaveLayerStateName name what)
This is the error:
(SaveLayerStateName name acLsall)
also
The will save a layerstate but won't report it in the acad layermanager layerstates dialog box.... I hope this helps
I also apologize for the code left in earlier posts... I didn't find this error till
just about 4 days ago, and Bam... now I have to suck it up. I hope
that these posts will make up for the learning curve.
Thanks to the Swamp and the people here who share.

this was a pain to find this acad error
I'm a fan of using tablayout name to store the layerstate
and use a command line instead of the acad Layermanager
