How to make construction lines on a unique layer? 1

[Binary]

I'd like to redefine the standard "construction line" button so that my construction lines are automatically created on a layer named "Construction" whose color is red and linetype is phantom. In doing so, I'd like to keep my current layer set to whatever it is when the command is executed.

If somebody could tell me how, I'd be very grateful.

Kind regards,

Binary

Hi Binary,
her is the first step for Your construction-line-button:

^C^C-layer;_new;Construction;se;Construction;_colour;1;;_lt;Phantom;;;^C^C_xline;

Problem: Go back to layer previous after drawing the line...

To return to your previous command after using a command (huh?), use a routine called "Autolay 2".

"This program automatically creates and switches to layers for dimensions, text hatches and viewports, then restores the layers to their previous states when the command has ended."

If you read the routine, it tells you how to change the code so that you can even use it to change layers for plines or whatever.
