Hi Bob - nice to see you again, and thanks. I'll look at that later (I've just been put back on Microstation for the rest of today :( )

Thanks Matt, too :)

Don't let them do that to you.  You're too nice a person.  Tell them that since "Microstation is capable of working with DWGs natively," there's absolutely no reason to use anything that sucks as much as Microstation and that from here forward you will do everything in AutoCAD.

or something

Or what about.... "I'm not to use Microstation cos Bob says so" Do you think that'll work?

Definitely.  Better yet, let's cut out the middlewoman.  Give me an email address or phone number and I will call them up and tell them.

Since sooooo many people on this board are ademantly against using Layer '0', you would think that Autodesk would / could make a thingy in the Layers manager that you could 'turn off' the ability to draw on that layer.

A lot of you folks would HATE our dwgs as most of what is drawn, is drawn on the '0' layer. - We like it that way.

I use it all the time for defining blocks, but not for drawing on it.  I've got a series of apps and toolbars/tool palettes that will set the correct layer/color/linetype/plot for you based on what you're drawing.

I assume you don't do much xref'ing then, huh?

We do NO XRef-ing.

We tried it on one job & didn't like it.

I bet you don't even use LISP routines to expedite your processes either!?  PSH!

What?  You could do a whole house design and construction document package in 1/10th the time as me?  Well... uh... you don't even use XREFs!!

We're to poor to be able to afford that 'spensive' software (Full version), LT can't use LISPs without 'add-ons'
