I'm using Carlson CES and I thought that the layers I have set up in my default drawing, "drawing.dwg" on my desktop, would copy over if I copied "drawing.dwg" and "drawing.bak" to my netbook. They don't.
Ideas please,
TIA
I don't know about about Carlson, but what is the name of your "default drawing", on the netbook, and what is it's path?
Same thing. When you open Carlson, there is your default .dwg. All your layers are there and when I'm done, or while I'm working I just rename the drawing.dwg to the job name and all the layers are now in the renamed .dwg as well.
Thx
The idea is to create a .dwt file and use it every time you start a new drawing. (Start a new drawing from the list under the file tab, not the start up wizard and you will see the differance) Simply load your Drawing.dwg and do a "SAVE AS" to a dwt file. That way when you start a new drawing you can go ahead and name it anything you want. The dwt file will add your layers, colors, linetypes, etc.
Look for a file called carlson.dwt. its the template drawing. Setup your drawing the way you need it and save it as a template named carlson.dwt and place it in the appropriate directory.
Open a dwg file that has all your layers in it, erase all the lines and points from the screen. Go to file, saveas, in the saveas box hit the bottom dropdown to dwt & choose the carls
on.dwt file & hit ok
