Setting a filter layer current

[jhein759286]

I would like to create a button that would set a specific layer filter current.

I already have this layer filter in my template = S-Layers

Thank You

If you are using AutoCAD (and not AutoCAD LT), use this in your macro:




(vl-cmdf ".layer" "" "filter" "_set" "S-Layers" "exit" "")

I am using acad 2018

I copied & pasted your info into my macro & when I click on the button it pops up a dialog box = Object Selection Filters, all the boxes are empty & in named filters box it says current = *unnamed and when I click on that box it is empty also. So I must be doing something wrong or do not have it set up correctly?

Thanks for your help

Apologies, my bad. The lisp statement works at the command line, but not in a macro for some reason.

You can just use a straight menu macro to do it. I actually tested it this time :)

(Those are semicolons in between the statements in the macro, they act as an <ENTER>)

That worked

Thank you
