Change Notes based on Layer

Bryan Seger Feb 20, 2018 10:02 AM

We have many drawing templates that are all essentially the same except for a note section within our title block. To make updating our standard template easier, I'm wishing to consolidate all templates into one, and then just use the Layers functionality to turn certain notes on or off. We do not use layers for anything else.

Within this standard template drawing, whenever I select the Layer I want (say, 'Part' or 'Assembly'), is there a way to automatically turn the layer-specific notes on or off without going into the layer options and turning on/off the lightbulb icons?

only option that comes to mind would be a macro.

I'd suggest you not bother with Layers. You can have a separate sheet format for each set of notes, then use whichever sheet format is appropriate for each project. It's possible to not have a sheet format embedded in a drawing template so that the user will be asked to select a sheet format when starting a new Drawing (see the excerpt below from What's the difference between a sheet format and drawing template?). If you don't want multiple drawing templates then I believe this would be your best option.
