- New Block tool (Block>To Layers) has been added, to simplify the process of breaking apart single-layer drawings, containing multiple parts, into separate layers.
- The tool is used to generate new drawing layers from blocks or from ‘flat’ geometry. The tool itself works on selected entities and presents Edit Bar options for the name & description for the new layer, plus a pulldown list for available layer settings:
- If a selection hasn’t been made prior to running the tool, the initial Help Tip on the Status Bar will prompt you to make a selection:
- Once a selection has been made the new layer will be created automatically in accordance with the Edit Bar options with no further action required.
- If a selection has been made prior to running the tool the new layer will be created in accordance with the Edit Bar options once the OK button has been activated.
- The tool differs from the existing Block>Blocks to Layers tool in that it requires a selection set and can create new layers from flat geometry as well as blocks.
