I understand when turning on overrides any object placed will include that override. My question is what is the simplest/easiest way to change already placed objects to include layer key overrides?
In the help files it tells you do this method:
Remapping Objects to Different Layers
==================================
Use this procedure to change the layer an object is drawn on by remapping it from the current layer key to a different layer key.
On the Format menu, click Layer ManagementRemap Object Layers, or in the Layer Manager toolbar, click .
Select the object or objects that you want to change, and press ENTER.
To view the list of available layer keys, enter ?.
Press F2 to view the list of layer keys.
Select the layer key that you want to map the object to, right-click, and click Paste To CmdLine.
Press F2 to close the text window, and press ENTER.
The object is mapped to a different layer in your drawing, respecting any current layer key overrides.
==================================
Is everyone using the method above?
When I do this I do not get a complete list of layer keys (mostly mech & plumb pipe show up). I do not want my users to have to type in manually what layer key they want an object to go to. Thats a huge time waster.
I need something much faster/more user friendly than this.
