    Default Group layer management and prompt before publish

    Hello all,

    In LT, is there any way to group layers together, such that when a group was selected certain layers would become frozen, instead of manually clicking the layers you want frozen individually? I'm fairly certain you can do this, and my 2 minute research in the layer properties tab tells me you can, just havent fully hashed it out yet. my real question is...

    Is there any way, without LISP, to introduce a prompt before publishing such that this group or other groups similar could be chosen before print or PDF?

    We are having trouble with layer management as a group, it seems like no matter what, whenever one of us publishes we forget a layer or two and end up having to re-publish.. There has got to be a easier way to manage layers in this way.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    You could try billing the errant user for the time and materials to generate the bad plots (standard 3x multiplier for billable time...)

    layer groups and filters yes (or setting to non-plot)-- but i don't think there's a way for LT to warn you when you publish
