Halftoning x-refs

[charles.stewart]

I have a large project with many levels and many intermediate levels that we can call mezzanine levels, for lack of a better term. Because the project is so large, we have broken it up into several teams, with each team working on a component.

I am bringing together all these components in large, E-size key plans by x-refing in the various components into a larger plan. I would like to somehow show some x-refs in a grey or halftone so that the "mezzanine" work will be readily distinguishable from the existing beyond work. I thought there was a way to grey out or halftone entire x-refs but I seem to be having a hard time finding it. Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Charlie

You can create a button with the following

^C^C^P(command "_layer" "col" "252" "*|*" "")

This will change all layers of the xref into colour 252 (or any other colour you want).

Thanks- I will give that a shot- it sounds pretty cool if it does the trick.

Thanks,I'm not too LISP savy. Is there a way to adjust this to allow user input to pick the color?

(defun c:HalfTone (/ colorpicked)
(setq colorpicked (getint "nSelect Color Number to place Xref Layers on"))
(command "_layer" "col" colorpicked "*|*" "")
);end defun

Try this, just create a button macro to run it

Hi

If you require additional help on this matter, take a look at the following...

Have a good one, Mike
