Chris Rogers Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am very new to VW and cannot figure out how to click on a line or object and have the computer tell me the design layer...since you can't click on an object in any design layer other than the current one. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Chris It helps to know what version you have, but if you are using a relatively recent version one way you can find the layer is to right click on an object and choose "Force Select" or "Activate Layer". Either one will make the layer of that object active. Or, you could change the layer view options to Show,Snap, Modify Others in the Navigation Palette. Then you can just click on the object and look in the OIP for the layer of the selected object. hth michaelk Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I should have also said that setting the layer view options to Show, Snap, Modify Others won't let you select objects in layers whose scale is different from the active layer. Quote Link to comment
Chris Rogers Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Excellent! That works. Thanks. I'll add VW 2008 Architect to my signature as soon as I figure out how. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 ... Or objects in layers whose visibility is set to grey. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Glad it worked. At the top of the page click on "My Stuff" and go to edit profile. Quote Link to comment
