LAYTRANS — Layer Translator

Translates the layers of the drawing to those of another drawing or standard.

• Command: LAYTRANS · Global name: _LAYTRANS
• Ribbon: Home › Layers

Translates the layers of the drawing to those of another drawing or standard: objects move to the target layer, which takes the color, linetype and lineweight of the reference. LinceCAD does it on the command line, without the Layer Translator dialog box.

Usage

1. Enter LAYTRANS.

Enter the drawing or standard with the target layers:

2. Type source=target mappings; the source accepts wildcards (WAL*=A-WALL). Map same applies to the layers that already have the same name as in the reference.

Enter source=target, Map same or <Translate>:

3. Enter (or Translate) translates: the source layer is deleted if it ends up empty (never 0 or the current one).

Notes

• The result can be undone with UNDO.
• It does not save the mapping file and does not change the linetype if the reference uses one that is not loaded.
