Layer question

[E3CADCAM]

Is there a way to delete layers? Cant seem to find a way.

 

Thanks

If you remove what is on them, the name and the number you will no longer see them as listed

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

That's right. In X, a layer with no entities and no name does not exist.

 

Or...

 

If you're asking how do I delete all the entities on a level, that's as simple as 'Delete', then 'All', then choose the level.

[E3CADCAM]

Easy enough. I had quite a pile of you-know-what to flip through and only needed to keep a few of the layers.

 

Thanks for the help

On the topic of layers/levels, why does the drop down list never show anything other then 1? Not even names? Noticed it's done that...well, forever...

well what do you have your box set at. If it used and there are names but nothing on them then you would only see level 1 if level 1 only have entities though you have 2,000,000 named levels. Now if you have named and used as your selection method then all levels named and with entities on them or used would show up.

Have a look at the picture, Ron. I have lots of levels, entities, names, ect. This is how I always organize my job (aside from S2 being labeled as S1 twice, I noticed). I have the level manager pulled up in this screen and I see the same thing. Level 1 only, and level 1 is not even the active level (although it is visible).

millingman that dropdown is a MRU for levels.

Really? All this time I have been wondering why it doesn't work right and it's an MRU????

 

Hmph. Well, that's kinda dumb. I would rather have a drop down that I can quick select the level I want instead of opening the level manager.

 

Thanks Roger!

+1 MillingMan, I have not found a use for that dropdown box yet.

ya, me too! There is so much room there, but it onlt ever has one level in it. You can however type your level # in the box (not the dropdown) to change your main level.

Just wait guys, lots of new stuff coming on this one.

Yes, and any number that you type in will be accessable from that menu after that. I've found the dropdown (up?) pretty useless myself.

 

Unless they've changed it's functionality (I'm still using plain old X2), calling it a MRU is not totally correct. I believe you can work on many different levels but only the level numbers that have been typed show up in that menu. I guess you could call it a MRT (Most Recently Typed) menu.
