Shortcut/command to selecting the layer of a selected object

[Ous.AbouRas (Aws Aburas)]

Hello,

Is there a command to select the layer of a selected object? Right now I go to the small hammer icon in the layer subsection, but it would be very efficient, as I get lost in my own layer structures, to quickly find the layer of the object I have selected. I was thinking if there is a command, I could simply create a keyboard shortcut for it.

Thanks

Hi, there is also a couple of scripts floating around that could help.

You could assign them to a keyboard shortcut for instant access and do what you need:

Highlight selected objects in Layers

The script originally posted had a bug that would cause some layers in multi-nested structures not to get selected (the parent layers would not expand, therefore preventing selection). Here is a version with the bug fixed, for anyone interested that is using the script: DIG_SelectObjectsLayers.rvb (2.3 KB) The command/alias is: DIG_SelectObjectsLayers –jarek

hth,
