dim layer creation
« on: January 16, 2004, 10:49:20 AM »
hey

a coworker of mine has asked me to try to figure out why just recently when he starts a new drawing a layer called dim is created. i went into his dwt and purged the layer and saved it. then when i start a new drawing or open the dwt again it reappears. i don't think he has any kind of addon that would create the layer. he's using acad 2002. thanks

perhaps you could upload the dwt for use to examine.

Does it have anything to do with your dimension reactor routine that se7en gave you? Don't think it should, but you never know!

i'll check that ron but it would have to be in every template which is unlikely. daron, no he doesn't have my reactor on his machine.

just haven't gotten around to giving them to everyone yet. in order for them to have them i have to sit down and do it myself because apparently noone cares to read instructions and try to learn how to do it themselves.

The most common causes of layer creation in a new drawing is:

1. It is in the template
2. The user made it
3. It is in a the acad.lsp s::startup function
4. It is created by an add-on
5. It is created by a block or xref
6. It is created by an automatically run routine
7. The user forgot he made it .... again ....

To troubleshoot follow these guidelines:

1. Open AutoCAD and create a new drawing without a template.
    The layer exists - Go to 2
    The layer does not exist - Problem is in template
2. Set SDI to 0 and ACADLSPASDOC to 0, then create a NEW drawing (without closing AutoCAD) without using a template.
    The layer exists - Go to 3
    The layer does not exist - The problem is in the ACAD.LSP file
3. Check the contents of the Startup Suite and remove all autoloading routines. Then create a new drawing without a template.
    The layer exists - Go to 4
    The layer does not exist - The problem is in a program loaded by the Startup Suite
4. Using the VBA Manager, unload all VBA projects, then create a new blank drawing.
    The layer exists - Go to 5
    The layer does not exist - The problem is in a VBA program
5. Leaving all settings the same, close AutoCAD and restart AutoCAD from the executable, not a shortcut.
    The layer exists - Go to 6
    The layer does not exist - The problem is in an autoloading Add-on referenced by the profile *.arg
6. Tie a rope to the computer and use it for an anchor on your next fishing trip.

The computer no longer exists ... :twisted:
