Unexplained convenience...

Hi,

I have this wonderful phenomenon whereby the layers in the Layer Properties Manager will auto-sort alphabetically when I add a new layer, but only when in a drawing created from our company template. If I start a blank 'No Template - Metric' drawing (typically for pdf conversions) it won't auto-sort. I've Googled for a System Variable, had a rummage around AutoCAD as well, but to no avail.

Does anyone know how this occurs and how I can duplicate it for every dwg file I touch?


Cheers!
Merry Christmas.

The only reason I know of why layers won't sort is that the number of layers exceeds the value of the system variable MAXSORT.
When this is the case, layers are displayed in the order of creation.

MAXSORT affects other lists too, not just layers.
