importing layer and layer combos into new template

[Tom Krowka]

As title indicates, am trying to get layers and layer combos into the new template. Have layers and combos that I have used for several versions; favorites work with them.

I can import both the layers and the layer combos, but not the setting for the combos that indicate which layers are on and off. I know I can go through all the combos and reset on-off-lock layers, but don;t want to spend an hour doing it and then having to adjust forgotten layers later on.

I'm pretty sure I have done it in past versions, but can'r remember how I did it.

thanks Tom

The Attribute Manager should bring across the layer combos and all their settings.
But you may need to make sure that the individual layers are 'Overwritten' and not 'Appended' so they keep their original index numbers.

I think the layer combos use the index numbers rather than the layer name and if you append layers they will get different index numbers assigned to them and the combos won't turn the correct layers on/off.
