Worksheet to show info from "active layer only"?


Recommended Posts

In a worksheet I can simpy type an equation to give me the area of a "floor" on a certain layer.

Example:

=AREA(((INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & (L='Isometrics') & (ST=FLOOR))))

(L='Isometrics') being the layer

Is there a way to have one worksheet that when inserted on each layer show the area floors on that active layer only?

Maybe something like

=AREA(((INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & (L='ACTIVE LAYER') & (ST=FLOOR))))

The reason being with the original method above, if I change my layer names I have to change all the equation fields in each worksheet (I could use the find replace text tool), and I have to have either one worksheet with a data field that shows all layers or a seperate worksheet for each layer.

Thanks that makes sense.

I have in the meantime found a way to achieve basically what I want it to do.

Under the "critera section" in the worksheet you can set it to pick up the "visibilty" of certain classes.
