printing layers

rgarand — Tue, 30 May 2023 11:07:05 GMT

How do I print a list of layers in my template? I can print a list of layer combination settings...I would just like a complete list of what layers are within my file.

Any thoughts?

TIA

1. make a layer combination that shows all layers.

2. make sure that it is at the top of the list (call it " 00 show all" or something.

3. print 'page 1 to 1' (or 2 or 3 - depends on how many layers you have)

4. look at the gobbldygook that it churns out if you are using a mac and wonder why you bothered.

5. get biro and paper . . .

Make a temporary layer combination called something like "! All Layers" with all layers visible. This will print at the top of the layer list on the first one or two pages (depending on how many layers you have). The exclamation point puts it at the top of the list.

If you want the list as a text file, print to PDF and copy/paste the list into Word, Excel, etc.

You could also try printing from Attribute Manager - much less goobilygook from my experience!

Attribute manger prints a tab separated text file that can be opened in Excel.

Silly me, I've been doing it so long the other way I just plum forgot about Attribute Manager. It is the better method. The tab delimited part is great as it saves a trip through a text editor before moving into Excel.
