layer vs blocchi

[Antar]

Bye to all,

I have a doubt about autocad (lt 2014) that I can't solve by turning on the net.

In practice I am creating for the company for which I work of industrial liquid packing plants.
there are several machines and different packing lines. at the moment I have arranged the lines on different layers (one for machine+accessories) and different blocks, one for machine (without accessories) so that you can manage different machines in a rather simple way.

the problem comes when I have to study multiple lines together, as the x block is disabled on all lines (or activated)

I tried to solve the problem by joining the layers and creating a layer for each pack line, this solves some problems (regarding accessories) but leaves the block open, as it recognizes the x block on the first glued layer, and that's enough.

what I ask, therefore, is

1) Is there a way to rename the blocks, perhaps assigning them a prefix? Do I have to pass by the rename command and do one by one or there is a way to do it automatically (according to you creating a script would be something easy and feasible? )?

2) Can you create layers families (not just filters)? example, I take off a line on a layer that I call line pee, and when I open the family I pounce the sublayers that belong to you? (obviously if yes, how? )

someone had similar problems and found a solution maybe not simple, but functional to solve the problem?

No, and with a script you wouldn't fix. then working on lt you can not even load lisp so I fear you should use the expensive and old method coleman

2) Can you create layers families (not just filters)? example, I take off a line on a layer that I call line pee, and when I open the family I pounce the sublayers that belong to you? (obviously if yes, how? )

no, there is no concept of sublayer in autocad

I suspected I couldn't find anything about sublayers.

Why do you think a script doesn't work out?

it would be, a little elaborate, coded, I think, but conceptually it should be rather simple, anyway...

metodo coleman

What?

Why do you think a script doesn't work out?

In fact using _-rename the script could work but you have to write one to one the old block name followed by the new...maybe using excel you can also quickly do

 

[Antar]

Yes, my thought was in fact to extract the names of all the blocks (to see how) and make them put in a table, and then rename to one by one the blocks as "nomeblocco+nomelinea"

being ignorant of vba I see it very simple as what. Maybe I'll study. .

The question of the coleman method remains open
