Can I create frequently used layer filters in LISP?

[pmedina]

Greetings, I have a set of layer filters I frequently use. For example, All ON, All OFF, All non-referenced (~*|*), All FAA (*FAA*), etc.

Is there a way I can use LISP to create my favorite layer filters?

Thanks for any help.

It seems there is a solution to your problem on the autodesk website. The lin is posted below.

Hi,

Here's an Import/Export layer filter LISP.
It works with propety layer filters.

EXPFLTR exports a layer filter from the current drawing to a text file (extention: .flt)
IMPFLTR imports a layer filter from a flt file or a drawing.

It would be nice if you could create a block with all your layers, lines types, & Layer filters in it. So far you can't import filters via a block. Maybe next autocad it will be released.

The LayerFilter.LSP does work, nice job. It only seems to do one at a time. I'd like to do several in one shot.

I have not been able to get the AutoDesk forum post solution to work yet.

I doubt you'll be able to import filters thru a block. This was enabled when layer filters first came out but it created drawings with thousands of filters so they disabled it.
