Surface labels on layer depending on label type

(1/2) > >>

Rod:
Does anyone have anything that will assist in putting Civil surface labels on different layers depending on what label type it is.
The in-built drawings settings will put contour, elevation and slope lables all on the same layer.

If I roll my own the options are to

* Write new functions that will take the place of the label commands; or
* Write reactor/s that will place labels on the correct layer once a command is finished; or
* Write a command that once run will move all labels to the correct layers
I am missing anything?

Cheers, Rod.

Jeff_M:
That pretty much sums it up.

Rod:
OK. Thanks Jeff

Keith™:
I have a VBA reactor that runs whenever a block is inserted into a drawing. If the block name has never been inserted previously, it prompts the user for the layer to force that block to be on. But like I said, it is VBA and I'm not sure if VBA is supported in newer versions. I am still using my perpetual license from 2007 ... because well .. it works for everything I need.

Rod:
Thanks Keith, but I'll stick to lisp.

Once I get around to it I'll start with "Write a command that once run will move all labels to the correct layers" should be fairly straight forward.

Cheers, Rod.
