Have you ever gotten a drawing from a consultant and wondered why the color of a block does not change as you expect it to? Most likely, the reason is that the components of the block are not on Layer 0. Layers that cannot be deleted, but are not apparently used, may also be due to this setting. MoveBlockToLayer0 will correct the definition of a block by changing all components with one click.
This new, timesaving command allows you to change the layer of all drawing entities to layer zero in a single click. You can also clean up drawings with objects on unused layers by moving them to layer zero.
This new enhanced Set by Zero drawing feature will:
- Improve block CAD standards
- Minimize errors resulting in objects on wrong layers
- Modify the definition of a selected block to layer zero
- Save time changing entities to layer zero
The bottom line is firms will be able to increase productivity and set drawing entities to layer zero in a single click.
