Levels form question

[Ol Slow Hands]

Any way to edit the form to add a column for "color" ?

[Richard Bechard]

Not that I know of.Maybe use level set column if you don't use it for something else.

The othe thing is the order. When you make a report and print it out, how does it come up with the order of the levels. I would think it should go in numerical order and not all over the place.

 

I like the idea of putting the color in the level set Richard.

How would you guys use the color option?

I just put my color in the name field in (#177) at the end of the description.

Thad,

 

I have several 2D toolpaths on certain jobs and each one is on a different level. In the name I put what each one does. If there was a way to show me that this particular toolpath is on this level and it is that color it would make it easier to let me know what each toolpath does.

Much of the work I do is the same. The project I am working on has 1,000's of similar parts. We are supplied with a 2d gemotry file and are required to build 3d models to machine from. In the process of manipulating files, I end up with approx 10 layers per part. Using a standard color scheme (1 color per layer) makes life easier to know what you are looking at down the road when I am applying toolpaths. I am currently using the "SET" field to designate colors. I have the levels saved and each new part uses the same levels & colors

Hi, Ol Slow Hands; My typing is the same.

 

If you make all levels different colors, or not. You can go to (Attributes), select (same as) then select the entity your concerned with. It then will tell you what level it is on. From the same window you can change to that level or any level.

I would like to see levels/colors controlled like acad where you can assign a color to a level regardless of type of entity

 

colin, from EA manager, looks like it's entity type controlled and not level controlled ??
