Default layers are lost

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 13:55:10 GMT

I had a lot of unused layers from autocad drawings and decided do purge them, so I went to option - elements attribute - attribute manager and chose to purge unused, and I didnt know it would purge also the default layers like the Wall layer, for example. I wasnt using all the default layers and so a lot of them were purged, does anyone know how to restore them back, or I would have to create each one of them again? It would be terrible I guess because they were already configurated to layer combinations etc...
Could anybody help me?!

You can use Attribute Manager to copy back the layers. Make sure you use 'by index' so everything is completely back the way it was.

As long as you have a backup file or template that you used for the project to copy the settings over, you are fine.

After that you can also restore your Layer Combinations in the same way.
