Unreconciled Layers, can someone please explain what they are

[Jim Thompson]

1. You should not edit "acad200xdoc.lsp". This file belongs
2. LAYEREVAL and LAYERNOTIFY are drawing saved system variables. Setting them at startup will change DBMOD. This is undesired in most cases. Drawing saved sysvars should be set in the template drawing(s) when possible.

You can put (acad-push-dbmod) at the beginning of your code and (acad-pop-dbmod) at the end of your code to fix that wagon.

True, but I avoid that so that no code that does modify the drawing ever sneaks into our startup code.

[JMurawski]

type in "layernotify" and set the variable to "0" that will stop the pop ups in the drawing

[rkmcswain]

type in "layernotify" and set the variable to "0" that will stop the pop ups in the drawing

That was already established in this post

The problem is that this sysvar is saved in the drawing. If your template drawing has been set to 1, then all your working drawings have it set to 1 also.... forcing you to change it in each existing working drawing...

The suggested solution is in the last sentence of #2 in this post

Another 08 issue. When opening any files from older versions, (ADT 07, 06), I get a message saying there are "New Unreconciled Layers". When I click on the icon on the bottom right corner with the exclamation point, it says click here to see new unreconciled layers. OK, great, here they are. What the hell are they and what am I supposed to do about it? All I know for sure is that these particular layers won't plot.
Please help.
Thanks,
Phil

check your visretain setting. If it is set to 1 frozen layers stay off with xrefs.

I know this is a bit late but with acad 2009 set layerevalctl to 0. It's saved in the user settings not the drawing, so do it once and you are done.
