Contours command not selecting layers correctly
« on: May 22, 2014, 05:08:09 PM »
Whilst using the Contours section, I noticed that when I use the layer picker for the Major / Minor contours, it actually assigns those layers to the Annotation layer. The layer pickers for the Annotation section don't work.

On a similar note, I'd like all these layers to be predefined if they don't exist. Eg, always use Contours_Major, Contours_Minor etc.
Is there a way to implement a template file to pull these layers from? the file would say have the layer name, and colour, linetype etc, then from Cadtool be able not only to select layers on the drawing, but also from this template file (and then save as a default).

Ooops! Thanks for making me aware of that. It looks like there are some line of code missing. I'll fix that right away.
Layer names and color will be saved when closing the for, type in anything you want and then close the form, next time you open it these layers will be default.

Ah right, I notice that it only does that is the layer is still available. I've been lazy, to get rid of old contours, I use the LayDel command.

Very good! This software continues to be excellent.

UPDATE: Don't use LayDel, use GetSel. You can select everything on a layer. So I can erase my Contours in one hit nearly without deleting the layer itself.
