Layers On/Off for sheets A1 A2 S1 S2 etc

[CTruax]

When drawing house plans using R14 I find it useful to have layer names that have information unique to each sheet that will be plotted; for example

A1_Dim would have dimensions for only the Arch (not struc)
A1_S1_Dim would have dimensions common to both.

Ive written a LISP routine that turns off all layers except the ones that are requested: Command: SHOW A1

This works great for say a 2-story house which has an
S1 Foundation
S2 Floor framing
S3 Roof framing

I am wondering if there is a better-quicker way to do something similar using the layout TABs in ACAD2002+

You can control which layers are seen through a viewport. Each layout you create could have viewports that only show certain layers. Is this the kind of info you were looking for?

Hi,

...or use "Layer Manager", but it's not automatically...
