I think this is impossible, but I’m going to ask anyway since someone on here usually has a brilliant solution I never knew existed.
If you save a layer state, say, “STATE 1” then later create new layers. When you go back and restore “STATE 1” it will effectively ignore any layers created after that save.
Is there any way to make it default to OFF for any layers not in the original save? I know I can select all layers manually, turn them off, then restore the layer state. Is there a way to automate that into the restore function?
Ha, I was searching for a solution to this and found my own thread asking the question back in July. So I’m bumping it up again.
To be more specific, I have a “documentation” project that references a huge model in another project. This file is just for documents, so each tab is a page (of detail views). I’ve always used save layer state to get just the layers I need for that particular drawing page.
The referenced model is always being updated and new layers get added. There are hundreds of layers.
The “restore layer state” function basically ignores anything that was added after it was saved. So every time there is an update I have to manually find any new layers, turn them off, and re-save the layer state.
I’m not sure if this is a new feature request or a setting that I’ve not found.
Rather than restore layer state ignoring new layers: Is there a way to make the layer state restore turn everything off first, THEN run the restore?
Alternatively, if we could customize this bar, I could just modify the command to do it. AFAIK, these menus can not be changed.
