Now that I have graduated to C3D, I miss my much-loved Layer On All (LOA) command.
The closest thing I have found is Isolate, then Un-Isolate the same layers that were turned off. That is okay, but sometimes I randomly turn off layers to clear my screen and at some point I want them all back on again and have to go to Layer Manager to do so.
Any command or icon in C3D that will turn on all the layers that happen to be off?

I'm not aware of such a command in any version of ACAD I've used. Could it have been a customization? Seems to me that a quickie LISP could recreate such a command.
Go into the layer dialog box, select all, click one of them on, it will turn them all on.
Try LAYON
LAYON works, thank you.
Okay, now to my next question.. how do I make the command LAYON shorter (fewer characters)? I went to AliaseEdit and LAYON is not in there.
I added these below to lisp file of other commands that gets loaded every time Civil3D starts.
Find the file below (for different years of the software they put the same type of format as this:
C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD Civil 3D 2012Supportacad2012.lsp
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(DEFUN C:ALLON ()
(COMMAND "LAYER" "ON" "*" ""))
(DEFUN C:ALLOFF ()
(COMMAND "LAYER" "OFF" "*" ""))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Leave the carrots out of course.
Custom shortcut key?
at command line type: -layer
;at options prompt, type: on
;at layer prompt, type: *
Same to thaw, except at options prompt type: thaw
> at command line type: -layer
That what I've been doing except that you can just type "-LA" instead of the whole word.
Hey Mack,
How about adding LAYON to your Quick Access Toolbar?
Dave
Hmm, add LAYON to my Quick Access Toolbar.. why didn't I think of that!
Thanks Dave!
