I have been checking out the demo and have one issue to resolve before I purchase. I am used to using the "layman" command (now included in the bonus tools) within Autocad 2002 to restore a particular setting of layers being on/off, locked/unlocked, etc...I use this in model space to flip quickly between foundation plan, framing plans, floor plans etc...there must be an equivalent command in Intellicad to allow this layer control. Any help figuring this out is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you keep to a rigid structure for layer names you can do this using script files.

This is how I achieved it when I had a mixture of 10 Full AutoCADs and 50LT's that could not run Bonus or Express Tools or Lisp.

thanks Alan...I work pretty loosely with regards to layers so it seems like this is going to be a problem for me. I'll just have to dig deep and but Autocad I suppose.
Unfortunate.

This can be done using lisp or vba. layer states can be stored in an external file. I use the vba method to save and restore layer states (does not handle viewports). This works quite well if you do not mind another file along with the actual drawing file.

thanks to both of you...it still seems odd that something this obvious would be left out of a cad program. Why Autocad took the layer manager out and only includes it in bonus tools is beyond me as well.
