Retaining Layers in Sheet

Paul Moon

I am using version 9 and I am sure this is just a simple command.  I have frozen layers in a viewport and they remain that way until I close the drawing and re open again.  When the drawing opens all layers are turned on again.  Is there a command or drawing setting I need to make them hold?  This doesn't happen in any of my other files.


Thanks,

Paul

    There has been talk here before about layers being frozen with VPLAYER getting reset...

    See http://www.bricscad.com/common/support/forumthread.jsp?id=11201

    Are they XREF layers?

    Thank you for the link to the past thread.

     

    It is one viewport, and it does contain xrefs.  My first instinct was to use the VISTRETAIN command.  I changed it from whatever it was, but did not have success.

    I would make a copy of the drawing:

    • switch to model space in that viewport,
    • save a layer state,
    • delete the viewport,
    • create a new viewport and
    • restore the layer state (while in model space again).

    You could send the file in with a support request also.

    Have you checked it the viewport is on a frozen or locked layer? It does not seem to matter in the v10 I have but perhaps it did with v9?

    Have you tried to run audit?

    I had the same problem in V10 with an xref and made a suport request.

    The answer was - audit the file, save it, reset the layer states within viewports, save again.

     Auditing seemed to find no problem, but doing it fixed the drawing.
