TEXTLAYER

Hi all,

is there any way to set a default layer for Text /Mtext in Bricscad?

The TEXTLAYER system variable in AutoCAD (introduced around 2020-2021) specifies a default layer for new text and multiline text objects, allowing them to be placed on a specific layer regardless of the current active layer.

Thanks!

    TEXTLAYER variable is not implemented in BricsCAD yet, I'm not sure if there is another way to set default layer for Text /Mtext.

    In amongst Lee Mac's treasure trove of Autolisp goodies is this little gem.

    You can redefine say TEXT command in a lisp defun so 1st line in the defun is set the layer name, then (command "TEXT") you can ignore the redefine by typing "._text" For me I would have like Text1, Text2 and so on so Text can be on various layers, not just locked to one.

    (defun c:TEXT1 ( / )

    (setvar 'clayer "TEXT1")

    (command-s "TEXT")

    )

    thank you all!

    Layer director is what I was searching for,

    until TEXTLAYER is implemented natively by BricsCAD
