PLOTMAKER layers hide/show won't work...

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:37:44 GMT

Plotmaker 3.0.1v1, ACad 8.1.0 v1.

I have several layout books, and on a new one if I click on the imported drawing on a layout and open the layers dialog box, I can hide and show different layers, but the OK button is greyed out and not available. I seem to remember having this issue before and solving it, but can't remember what I did!! Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't cover Plotmaker real well.

I'm sure I missed a setting or something somewhere and this is a simple thing as most of my issues are. Can someone reming me how to solve this??

Thanks,

Select the drawing in plotmaker and open the " Drawing Settings" window. In there, check under the "Attribute Update Rules" tab and see if the box next to layers is checked or not. If if is checked, uncheck it and this should unlock the layer settings.

Good luck,

Thanks tprokop, that did the trick!!

Barry, funny, but I asked a very similar question before and didn't remember. Although I was asking for a different reason, the result is the same. I sure with Plotmaker had some better documentation!

I'll ask this question again in a few months!!
