I have a complex dwg with many layouts, many VPs and many many layers.
Whenever I create new layers they always appears in every single existing layout/vp as "turned on" I then have to go through every layout/vp deselecting "current VP freeeze" to "turn them off" which is very tiresome. I have tried all the implied hints in the help docs (using 0, setting current...) but what ever I do they always are defined as "turned on" in every single VP
Is there some SECRET FLAG that I have to RESET in order to default NEW LAYERS to be "TURNED OFF" in existing VPs? Thanks cc
Sure, use this lisp routine instead of the layer command. It will create layers using the standard layer dialog box, then make sure the new layers are frozen in all viewports EXCEPT those in the current Tab.
