Importing design layers from another file


Eddieline

Question

Hi, I am trying to import layers from one file to another. I had success with importing one design layer into my new vectorworks file, but when I try to import the second one it doesn't show up under design layers. I go to new design layer, import design layers, choose the file I want to import from, choose the layer, and select import layer options. I have tried to trouble shoot by creating a new file with only that layer, the layer is visible, restarting vectorworks, if there is a better method to import design layers I would appreciate the help! Thanks!

I am having a simialr problem - it isn't the naming as I checked this.  The layer name comes into the file, but the layer is blank, I have checked class visibility, and checked it hasn't improrted to another area of the layer by selecting fit to objects.  Any hints on hwo it could be going wrong? I am using 2024 service pack 7.

Do you have 'Import Layer Objects' checked in the 'New Design Layer' dialog?
