    Default newbie needs layering help

    I am very new to this. I contacted my county agencies and received several county road maps with data in .shp files. I used map insert to bring in the files and attached the data to the maps when brought in. I have sucessfully placed the road maps on the workspace. I used annotation editor to set up annotation tables, selected the data from the converted .shp files place road names on one layer and road addresses on another layer. I sucessfully placed these on the workspace in the correct locations with the roads. Now, here's the issue. I have over a dozen counties I am working with. This has created close to 30 or so layers (road name and road address by county). I want to simplify the map by combining all the road name layers into a single layer for all counties and the same with road addresses. Somehow these layers are associated with layer 0 and I cant do a layer merge. Since I created the attribute (data)tables for the annotations under a single annotation table name, I cant break them apart by having a annotation table name for each set of road name and road address. I need to have the road names and addresses in different layers. So how do I separate out? I may not be clear on this and may need to provide more information.

    Can you attach part of one of your dwgs? I'll take a look but sounds like you just need to edit the anno blocks to use the correct layers.

    Go to your layer tool bar and merge layers.

    You missed this in the original post "and I cant do a layer merge."
