Configuration Layers - CADWorx - Help

Specifies drawing layers and the default names, line types, and colors of the layers. Default layers are provided. You can add and delete layers.

• The default layers are mandatory for use with Plant and cannot be deleted. See the tables below.

• Layer changes made in this dialog box affect the current drawing session similar to the CAD platform LAYER command.

• The commands in this dialog box are inactive if the configuration settings permission is set to read-only.

Layer Name

Specifies the layer name. The layer name can be anything that is allowed by the CAD platform. Wild card characters and spaces are not allowed. Click Update to change the name.

New

Adds a new layer with a default name. New layers are created when the drawing is initialized with Plant. Access this option by right-clicking in the layer name column.

Delete

Removes the selected layer from the list. You cannot delete default layers. Access this option by right-clicking in the layer name column.

Linetype

Specifies the line type for the selected layer. Select a value in the Select Linetype dialog box.

Line types are defined in the [Product Folder]\Plant\Support\Cfm.lin, the [AutoCAD Product Folder]\UserDataCache\Support\en-us\acad.lin, and the [BricsCAD Product Folder]\UserDataCache\Support\en-us\default.lin files.

Color

Displays the Select Color dialog box for selecting the color of the layer.

CADWorx Plant Layers

If the Cl layer is frozen or turned off, some CADWorx commands might not function because data is stored on the centerline of that layer.
