In some cases you can download the live enablers from AutoCADвЂ™s website for the entities that will enable you to perform some editing on theses entities, but you have to know what type of AutoCAD the original drawing was created in to get them. Some architects use different types of AutoCAD or other programs that create entities that are not editable in regular AutoCAD. One problem that I have come across when using other people's drawings, especially architectвЂ™s drawings, is that they're not all created with the same type AutoCAD I use. I encourage you to read the help file itвЂ™s been a great help to me.

How do you do it in the full version? I have my licensed copy at home.ДЇirst of all, I donвЂ™t know the extent of your AutoCAD knowledge, so if I donвЂ™t explain something in full, you can more than likely get a good explanation from the AutoCAD help file. LT does not support these tools as well as other things - thatвЂ™s why itвЂ™s less expensive than the full blown version. The tools you need to make the process go quicker are in express tools and third party add-ons. Unfortunately, LT is holding you back in this situation.

aside from using dimension update and match properties? It seems to take forever doing it this way. Is there a faster way to change their dimensions, notes, etc. We will typically get an architect's electronic drawings and then manipulate them from there to meet our needs. If they use Xrefs or a lot of blocks, it might take longer. On a fairly complicated drawing it takes me about 10 minutes to fix their drawing depending on how they set up the drawing. ThereвЂ™s more to my process, but these are the basics. Then when IвЂ™m finished, I purge the drawing of all their layers. When dealing with someone elseвЂ™s drawing, I first insert my layers into their drawing and use layer isolate to isolate a particular layer, then change it to mine. There are a few layer tools that will make things like: layer isolate, layer un-isolate, layer off and layer on. (Only works in AutoCADвЂ™s full versions, not LT).

First thing is, if you donвЂ™t have express tools loaded, get them and install them. I have my own process for dealing with architectвЂ™s drawings. CTB file to my clients or anyone who wants it for free. I have also developed my own programs to help me with layers. When I draw in 3d, all bets are off and the skyвЂ™s the limit on the number of layers I use. CTB file set up to print my layers out to where each different layer has a different line weight. I draw millwork and use 10-12 layers and have my own. For a lot of AutoCAD operators, the full utilization and capabilities of using different layers escapes them, and others that understand the full concept develop their own layer scheme and plot style tables. If you ever had to deal with several different architects' drawings, you will fine they all are a little different. I donвЂ™t think you will ever get everyone to agree on a layer format. We have just made the transition to AutoCAD from Cabinetvision for design, and drawing board and pencil for details.ДЇrom John Michael Hivatal, forum technical advisor: I am trying to come up with a process for dealing with outside standards and also creating our own. Has anyone's preferences changed with the later versions of AutoCAD (2006 and up)? Does anyone have a layer table for AutoCAD 2006 that they would like to share? Our design drawing comes down to us from architects with their own layer standards and we modify the rooms (mostly renovation) to what fits and works in the space. From reviewing the previous posts, I find some techs like a lot of layers and some a few (10).

In the Mac versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, the Layers manager is opened and the specific layers are selected with Command + left click, then use a left mouse click on the color square to see and select a new color. The procedure that works in the Windows version of AutoCAD does not work the same way in the Mac version, whereby the color can be changed by selecting individual layers with Ctrl+Left click, then hovering the mouse over the color property, then right-clicking to 'Select Color' to change to a new color. When the need arises to select a group of layers to change their color to a light grey to de-emphasize all the objects on that layer, it's tedious to select one layer at a time to change the color or other layer properties.
