Issue on Layers in NX7.5

[DesEngineer4]

Hi all,

Can any one help me in the below issue

The below code is our journal to use for layers. But, we have some issues in it.

1. The first coordinate system in the part navigator is moving to layer 61 and remaining datum axiss is moving to layer 40 only.
2. Symbolic thread is also moving to layer 61. But, after changing the window, again it is coming back to layer 1.
3. By executing this journal multiple times on the same model or part. Datum planes and datum axis are moving to layer 61. Not only datum's even some features also moving to layers 61 or 1.
4. As we coded in to move saved csys to 100. If we save csys at any location that csys is moving to layer 100 and some reference lines are creating through default datum axis(for this issue please see attachment)

I assume that your solid body layer is 1.
Anything part of that body, such as symbolic threads, are in the same layer as the body, and you have no control over that. That is why the symbolic threads go into layer 1.

HI jerry,

I need to move symbolic threads to Layer 1. But, it is moving to layer 61.

Thanks & Regards,
