Layer Reconciling

[rlh]

We use ACAD 08&09 in our office, my question is there any way to disable the layer manager from reconciling every time a drawing is opened. While it does not bother me some of the others can't seem to get beyond this.

LAYEREVALCTL = 0 ?

Really useful as I have stacks of users that get frustrated with the reconcile popping up all the time.

Looks like;
LAYEREVAL is in both 2008 and 2009
LAYEREVALCTL is only in 2009

Off to read the help files carefully before telling the user group!

Sorry, I didn't have 2008 available to check. Hence the "?".

I was able to find the variable and it worked but thanks for the help.

What my company does is add these two lines inside our networked acaddoc.lsp that we all point to.

(setvar "LAYERNOTIFY" 0) ;
(setvar "LAYEREVAL" 0) ;

Whenever somone in the company opens a drawing it disables the layer reconciling.

If an individual user wants to have layer reconciliation on, we'll set them up with a custum cui a corresponding "mnl" file to turn the settings back on.
