Macro to put 'FloorPlan' on Back?
« on: December 18, 2007, 10:44:54 AM »
We often import Building Floor Plans into our Title Blocks and put them on a layer called 'FloorPlan'. We then put our markups over them.

At times, the markups show up underneath the 'FloorPlan'.

Is there a way that thru a macro,  I could make 'FloorPlan' always be 'Back'?

do you have qselect as a command in LT?
Nevermind, there is no command line version

Kate, are saying qselect is there, or yes, there is a command line version?

Sorry, QSELECT exists in LT, but no command-line versions are anywhere, as far as I know.

The perfect answer to this would be if Autodesk had something in the Layer Manager that one could set a particular layer to 'behind' or 'back'.

After posting my question, I got to thinking about it and believe  I can figure out a macro myself.

Thanks for your replies though.

Okay, I FINALLY took the time to write the macro, here it is....

^C^C_-layer;Freeze;*;;-layer;unlock;floorplan;unlock;roomnumbers;unlock;security;thaw;floorplan;thaw;roomnumbers;;draworder;all;;back;-layer;freeze;*;thaw;security;;draworder;all;;front;-layer;thaw;floorplan;thaw;roomnumbers;lock;floorplan;lock;roomnumbers;;

- The macro runs thru okay, but it doesn't do what it should :cry:

What am I missing here?
