I can't believe how many emails I've received regarding the Colts...I'm stunned...most of you offered up your condolences...(some of you were brutal but I'll forgive you). I've even had a couple of you offer to send me a Terrible Towel to wave in support of the Steelers next week...Ouch!
I'm sitting in my room listening to the rain outside - quite pleasant I must admit. I think today we need a Hip Tip about Layers (especially since we use them allllllllllll the time don't we?).
A Hip Tip on Speedy Layer searching:
Many of us work with just too many layers. Keeping track of them inside of the layer dialog box can be frustrating. Sure you can save a variety of predefined layer or group filters but there's a great option in AutoCAD 2006 that makes it super easy to grab a speedy layer listing on the fly. I didn't even notice this option until a user recently pointed it out to me - so perhaps you overlooked it as well (it's almost too good to be true!). Right there on the front page of the layer dialog box you'll find an option to do a layer search as seen below.
Simply use wild cards for a speedy search of the desired layers. In the figure below I've asked AutoCAD to search for those layers that start with "CO"
It's that easy! Happy AutoCADding...
