![]() ![]() In the “Layer Translation Mappings” table will be a list of all the layers and their properties that appear in the right hand table. These are the layer names that do not exist in the drawing standards file loaded earlier. Hopefully there will only be a few non-standard layers to deal with which will now be visible in the left hand table. This process is accomplished by selecting the “Map same” icon. The idea is to tell the tool to compare the layer list and map all layers of the same name so all that will be left will be non-standard layer names in the left hand column. ![]() The standards layer list from the previously selecting standards file will appear in the right hand table “Translate To”. The current drawing layer list will appear on the left hand table “Translate From”. The tool allows for the use of AutoCAD Standards files (.dws), AutoCAD Drawing Files (.dwg) or AutoCAD Template files (.dwt) to be used with the Layer Translator process. With the drawing you wish to perform the layer translation open, you begin the process by running the “Layer Translator” tool and selecting the “Load” icon, Select any one of three types of AutoCAD files to capture the desired layer name configuration. It is located Manage tab, CAD Standards panel. ![]() AutoCAD provides a “Layer Translator” tool that will make it easy to correct drawings that have varied from company layering standards. #Autocad what is defpoints layer updateThis article is written to help update drawings where the layering standards of the template have not been correctly followed. Again the hope is that the vendors will use the layers definied in the template. Other companies will send their drawing templates to outside vendors that will be creating drawings for various phases of different projects. Most companies maintain drawng templates that define standard layers and hope their designers will use them as intended. Managing AutoCAD layers are important to maintain a drafting standards, promoting drawing understanding and sometimes to streamline downstream process that depend on certain layer assignments. ![]()
