Demystifying Object Layers

Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on November 15th, 2006

 

What are object layers?  Why do my Express Tools (or Layer II tools) not work the way I expect?  When I pick a proposed alignment to freeze, all of my alignments disappear, even the existing ones? Why doesn't matchprop work anymore? Why is Civil 3D treating me so poorly?? (followed by either cursing and a slamming phone, or tears and a trip to the shrink) These are common questions from the new Civil 3D user... and often a point of frustration. Here is an AutoCAD analogy that might help.
