Named layer filters

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Ken Alexander, Jan 12, 2004.

  1. I'm trying to set up a named layer filter using wildcards. I want
    to see all layers that Do Not start with FK or FR.
    I've tried several variations of ~FK*, ~FR*. Can you only filter
    one pattern. In googling for the answer I've found that I "should" be
    able to use more than one pattern by separating them with a comma. Not
    working though.

  2. Try ~F[KR]*

  3. Allen,

    Thanks, but I should have used a different example. I am aware of
    F[KR]* type of wildcard, my question is can you use more than one
    pattern. In my original post I just used the FK and FR as an example.
    How about something like ~FK*, ~Anc*. Thanks.

  4. That's the problem with NOT operators, they just don't OR well together.
    Say the layer name is Anchor.
    FK* NOT Anchor = True
    Anc* NOT Anchor = False,
    and True OR False = True, so Anchor is included.

    Could you filter for the range and then invert it?
