New layers and layer states

I have seen a few discussions about this but no suggestions. What I am looking for is a way to control how new layers are addressed by existing layer states. One way would be for the creation of new layers to open a prompt asking how the layer will "be" in each layer state. the other way would be that when you activate a layer state, a prompt would show all layers that have been added since the last activation of the layer state, and ask how each new layer should be dealt with. I know this is a lot, but I also know you guys love to amaze!!! (come on ECCAD)

ANYONE UP TO THE CHALLENGE?!?!? I know there are alot of folks who would love this one.

Another challenge?

I personally think, when someone uses that term, "Do this for
me...please...".

It's actually not a challenge, but a no brainer.

Yeah this easy to do...

But I'm not up to the challenge... anyone else?

Ok Ok, of course I am asking someone to do this for me... it is not a no brainer if you don't know how to do it. I kind of thought that was the beauty of this forum... that little people like me could pick the brains of the many generous people who actually enjoy helping others. that's fine if you are so busy you don't feel obliged to help someone else out... but if you're taking the time to respond to a post to simply say you can't (won't) help, how busy can you really be? Maybe its a monetary thing? And if it is such a no brainer then why protect the information so? Any way, it always puts a smile on my face to see things taken so personally in here Just looking for an answer to a question I bet you at one point had yourself.

keep smiling...CAD is not the end of the world.

I'm smiling....

But you need to sort of word it right for others to offer their help.

You're right, everyone will help.

But just ask next time, you'll get tons of answers.

Note, I'm the only one that replied.

Adam,
New Layers may be defined by 'inserts'. You will have no control over those. All you can do is to pop on the Layers Icon, and set them the way you want..How about a routine
that prompts for a pick, grab the object, check layername, layerstate, then 'do' whatever ?

Thank you Rudy for your reply...
I am sort of a rookie at computing (and certainly at DG etiquette!) I actually only turned off my caps lock and quit yelling after someone pointed that out. Something new everyday I'll be more conscious of my wording in the future.

 

Bob-

I have had to put this on hold for a while (current project mngr not using layer states on this one). I appreciate your comments, and will digest them in the near future.

Adam,
OK, go back to sleep.
