Display Settings

[slonik.spam559953]

Is there any way that I can set the display settings to only display lines or objects on a certain plane?

Like, for example. I have a plan drawn on Z elevation 0. And I want to draw another "level" on Z elevation +10. Is there any way to have AutoCAD display just the items/lines on Z +10?

Thank you.

The simple answer is putting the objects in different layers.
The other option is to make each level to individual drawings then insert them to the master drawing as external reference drawings.

These may take you into lisp in different ways.
And all these are depending on how you setup your drawing template and your company drafting standard.
For example, the layer groups, using vieweports, etc.

Another alternative is to use Named Views (view command). In the dialog you can set a view's depth clipping on for front & back as well as the distances.

These distances are measured from the origin of the view in the direction of the camera (usually for a normal plan view the origin is 0,0,0 and camera is 0,0,1).

After you've made such named view you can set it current inside a viewport. Or while inside the viewport, the view command's dialog has a Current view listed - thus you can change it on the fly there.
