AIA Layering

[ckenwyn]

Hello all! My company is looking into adopting the AIA layering name convention. I am trying to find a way to import the layer names that are stored in the "MEP Object - AIA 256 Color" layer key into a template drawing? I would prefer not to have to recreate them all.

Anyone know how I might do this or where this drawing already exists?

Thanks!!!

Press CTRL+2 to bring up the Design Centre. Open the 2 drawings you want to copy the new layer to/from. The list of drawings will appear on the list in the designcentre. Expand the drawing with the layers in it you want to copy and you can just drag & drop into the new drawing you're creating.

Thanks for your reply. I believe that solution would work if the layers were already visible in the 'layer manager' window. The layer keys are only visible in the 'styles manager' window and I have not figured out a way to import them all into a drawing. I have read up on layer keys and understand them better. They will load into your drawing when you use objects that are set to come in on certain layers.
